       G                          C
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
       D            D7         G
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
                                        C
I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,
        D           D7           G
And pretending not to know you’re there.


                              C
I imagine the sound of your voice
    D       D7            G
I imagine the smell of your skin
                             C
I imagine me with you, the way that he is
      D         D7           G
And wonder how it would have been


                                 C
In the morning the tears on my pillow
      D         D7       G
Will dry in the sun in my room
                                     C
And they’ll go off to heaven, but I’ll stay down here
          D         D7            G
Far from you as the Earth and the moon


                                 C
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
        D              D7          G
Is it cheating if you call me your man?
                                        C

                           C
Many years go by while we keep blinking eyes
         D          D7       G
Making promises and keeping a few

I try to call, I try to write
           C                        D          D7            G
But that one single night was the one night I could have had you


C    Bm            G
Come dance beside me
            C           Bm      G
Grab your partner and I’ll grab mine
C         Bm            G      Em
Hold him close in your sweet arms
     D7                   D
And think of me darling tonight


           G                       C
With this ring on my finger I was promised away
           D          D7           G
With this ring I was chained to a cell
                                   C
So I sing of a sweetheart gone so many yesterdays
      D                D7       G
So I sing through this singular hell.


                              C
Is it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
        D             D7          G

        D              D7        G

                                            C
Yeah I’m retrieving wayward glances with my wandering eye,
     D                C         G
And pretending not to know you care
