[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]When
Tom and I [Am]make love
He puts the [C]lamp out, his eyes are [F]closed,
he won't look at [Ab]me
And I sometimes [C]wonder
who he [F#dim]sees
[C]When he's [G]making [C]love
to [F]me with a [C]loud voice.
[Am]When[C] you and I made love[Am],
you kept the [C]lamp on
In that hotel [F]room with
the empty [Ab]view
We both smiled too [C]much
like strangers [F#dim]do
[C]And yet I fel[G]t so clo[C]se to you[F]
In the [C]land [G]of [Am]mine[F][C]
[A]Then you told me a joke
In the [Dm]land of [A]mine
[Db]An d all at on[F#m]ce
[B]I began to c[E]ry
Cause
[A]Tom and [D]I hardly s[G]peak
We hardly ever speak
[F]Anymore
[C]When you had dressed in [Am]gold[C][F]
On the [Ab]pillowcase, it was all you'd [C]left,
the only [F#dim]trace[F#m][F#dim]
[C]How distant [G]was our [C]last em
[F]brace[C][G][Am][F][C]
[A]Then I thought of your joke
in the [Dm]lampl[A]ight
[Db]Then I of [F#m]your i[B]n the l[E]amplight
How [A]often [D]have I tried to [G]find
a little consol[Em]ation?
[F]This is [G]not [A]right.
