Lyrics

*** intro:
F g f g

*** verse 1:
F g
If I'm calling you out of the blue
F g
It's because it's never-ending
F g
And if I'm dragging out pictures of you
F g
It's because I'm only pretending

*** chorus:
C f g
And if I'm looking over my shoulder
C f g
It's just because I hope you'll be there
C f g
And if I'm looking older and older
C f g
It's because I know I haven't a prayer

F g f g

*** verse 2:

When I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve f g
It wears out after a fashion f g
And I'm finding it hard to believe f g
Your whole-hearted lack of compassion f g

*** chorus:

And if I'm looking over my shoulder c f g
It's just because I hope you'll be there c f g
And if I'm looking older and older c f g
It's because I know I haven't a prayer c f g

*** instrumental chorus
|: c f g c f g :|

*** coda: (repeat until fade)

And if I'm looking over my shoulder c f g
It's just because I hope you'll be there c f g
And if I'm looking older and older c f g
It's because I know I haven't a prayer c f g
