[Verse 1]
              F# G#m C#
It's not right,
                          F# G#m C#
but it's now or never
             F# G#m C#
And if I wa-a-a-ait
                                  F# G#m C#
could I ever forgive myself?

    F# G#m C#
On a night
                                                        F# G#m C#
when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
               F# G#m C#
With the li-i-i-ight
                                             F# G#m7 C#7
from the TVs buzzing in the house
              F#                            G#m
Cause I'm gonna cut it where I can
            C#                                    C#7
And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
           F#                            G#m
If I ever had a chance it's now then
             C#                                   C#7                F# G#m7 C#7
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you

[Pre-chorus]
F#                 G#m          C#7
To offer it to you would be cruel
                             F#             G#m C#7
When all I want to do is use, use you

[Chorus 1]
                               F#
He was a diplomat's son
G#m                     C# C#7
It was ‘eighty-one,
                               F#
He was a diplomat's son
G#m                    C# C#7
It was ‘eighty-one, oh-oh-oh-oh

F# G#m C# C#7
F# G#m C# C#7

[Verse 2]
                     F# G#m C#
Dressed in white
           C#7                               F#       G#m C# C#7
with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
               F# G#m C#
I could sleep
C#7                       F# G#m C# C#7
wherever I lay my head

               F# G#m C#
And the sight
           C#7                                    F#      G#m C# C#7
of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
             F# G#m C#
Let me know
          C#7                          F#
that I shouldn't give up just yet

F#                                           G#m
Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon
C#                                           C#7
And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
F#                                   G#m
If I ever had a chance it's now then
          C#                                   C#7             F# G#m7 C#7
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
