[Intro]
G# A# C# G# |2x
[Verse]
G#
Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open
A#
and it made me long for little last night
C#
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet
G#
But a sweet worth every bite
G#
Now I'm not normally one to be greedy
A#
But I had to be greedy with you
C#
5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month
G#
wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth
[Chorus]
G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
A#
It can take a lifetime to get close
C#
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
G#
and we still got closer than most
G# A# C# G#
[Verse]
G#
Well excuse my staring but it's just your looks
A#
are a standard well above myself
C#
Your face might mean zip to you
G#
But to me it's something else
G#
All I can do is thank you
A#
and wish that every dream you have will come true
C#
5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life
G#
I'll be wishing for the riches for you
[Chorus]
G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
A#
It can take a lifetime to get close
C#
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
G#
and we still got closer than most
G# A# C# G# |2x
[Verse]
G#
You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment
A#
and gave the plain the blues
C#
Turned supermodel into last year's pull
G#
and got her down shining your shoes
G#
And I don't mean to be hod carrier
A#
of the ordinary folks bad news
C#
But tell Miss World to fly to Mars
G#
If she really doesn't like to lose.
[Chorus]
G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
A#
It can take a lifetime to get close
C#
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
G#
and we still got closer than most
