INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
F#m
How many nights
         C#m
Has your man even gone?
    F#m
You wait in the dark
        C#m
For the light to turn on

F#m
Long looks, they linger
     C#m
Much more than you do
   F#m
A night out for him,        sl.  sl.
      C#m          C#m  C#m / Cm / Bm
Is a rough one for you.


CHORUS:
Bm               Bm
He strings you along,
   sl.
Bm / C#m
    Yeah, strings you along
     D
But hold on a minute,
         E
Now his conscience is gone
 F#m   C#m  F#m  C#m
Ohhhhh


VERSE:
F#m
Cold pictures flicker
   C#m
On your TV screen
 F#m
Glued to the fiction,
 C#m
Living a dream

    F#m
You wait and you wait
       C#m
For a cursory call
  F#m
A life lived in waiting
                     sl.  sl.
   C#m        Cm   C#m / Cm / Bm
Is no life at all


CHORUS:
Bm               Bm
He strings you along,
   sl.
Bm / C#m
    Yeah, strings you along
     D
But hold on a minute,
         E              E
Now his conscience is gooone

VERSE:
   F#m
He says he’s a man,
   C#m
He runs on no track
    F#m
But what does he know
       C#m
Of the way to get back?

F#m
Look out your doorway,
      C#m
It’s right down the lane
  F#m
A cold price to pay
                                sl.  sl.
        C#m           C#m   C#m / Cm / Bm
In the stakes of this game
