[Eb]
[Bb] [Db] [Gm]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ebm] All [Bb]
[Cm] the bedroom lights go out [Bb] As the neighborhood gets quiet
[Fm] Everything in heaven and earth [Cm] is almost right
There's a wife who's wondering [Bb] where her husband could be tonight
[Fm] When the phone rang only once, she [C] took a dreadful [Cm] pride
Little things just seem to undermine [Bb] her confidence in him
[Fm] He was late this [Cm] time last week
Who can she turn to when [Bb] the chance of coincidence is snug
[Fm] As the baby isn't old [G] enough to speak
There's [Em] been a [Eb] long [Bb] honeymoon She talked [E] too late [Ebm] and spoke [Gm] too soon
There's [Ab] no money back guarantee on [Gm] future happiness
[E] There's been a [Eb] long [Db] honeymoon Never sat [Dbm] on a date when her [B] life's in ruin
[D] She never [Gb] thought her [D] love could [A] ever [Abm] be as [Gm] strong as this
All [Eb]
[Bb] [Fm]
[C] [Cm] [Eb]
[Gm] [Bb]
[Cm] the movies and the papers [Bb] picture the murders of lonely women
[Fm] If it isn't in by ten she'll [Cm] pull up like this friend
Why doesn't he come home?
Why [Bb] does his friend's phone keep on ringing?
[Fm] Maybe she [G] should just pretend
There's [E] been a [Ebm] long [Bb] honeymoon She talked [E] too late and [Gm] spoke too soon
[Ab] There's no money back guarantee on [Gm]
future happiness
There's [E] been a [Eb] long [Db] honeymoon Never sat on a [Dbm] date when her [B] life's in ruin
