Verse 1 (KEEP PLAYING G Em Bm/D) 
 
All around the room your things are placed & next to you he fills the space 
And so it seems your saving face is only saving face 
The pictures of the two of you on holiday your honeymoon 
You thought that he was wanting you 
                                                    A  Bm C(9) D7/F#  G 
But he was only wanting you to let him off    the       hook

While you were sleeping left you 
G           Em7      D 
Shaken while he stirred 
                    C 
When you awaken you will
