capo on 2nd Fret
C5 G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
Some times you can say more in a drunken hour or so
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
Than some people get across in a life of lying low
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
Sometimes you can feel more for someone you barely kissed
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
You don't see it at the time and the moment that you missed
Refrão -------------
G5 A5
For a short time
F5 G5
She was standing there
C5 G5
And you saw her and she saw you
A5 F5 G5 C5
And you recall the colour of her hair
G5 A5
For a long time
F5 G5
You've never thought of her
C5 G5
Then you hear she was gone for good
A5 F5
You might of cried then if you could
G5
Would have looked foolish if you did
F5 G5
Somewhere the tear is falling in your mind
F5 G5 C5
For a short time
--------------------
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
There's a photo of your gang on the night she hung about
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
And your looking like a wag got your fat tongue poking out
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
But she's no-where to been seen you won't spot her anywhere
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
It was her who took the picture you were looking straight at her
Chorus
N C C5 G5 A5 F5 G5
Tell me how long is a short time is it longer than two hours
C5 G5 A5 F5 G5
Or a bit less than a weekend is it shorter than a year
C5 G5 A5 F5 G5
Is it the time it takes to not complete your business with a person
C5 G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
With a friend you make it transit, to a daughter held so dear
Chorus
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
Faces come and faces go in the ragged life you lead
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
You just file them all away you recall them when you need
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
When a file just disappears you report it as a crime
G5 A5 F5 G5 C5
Against yourself against the world for a short time
Chorus
