[Verse 1]

               Eb B   Ab
You've been so quiet lately
    Eb7                    Eb           Ab
Sometimes I wonder has the cat got your tongue
                 Fm       Eb    Dbmaj7
You seem to be a thousand miles away
                     Fm       Eb       Dbmaj7      Eb
Don't look me in the eyes and say it's okay, don't lie

I got this funny feeling, baby
Db                 Eb            Ab
That it's going to be that time again
         C        Fm       Eb      Dbmaj7  Ab
When you have the need for someone else
           Bbm7                     Db    Eb
I know you better than you know yourself

Sometimes it takes the strength of a woman
   Fm7            Bb              Eb
To understand the weakness of her man
     Ab                Bb7              G7 Cm7
It's going to take the strength of this woman
        Eb               Bb            Db
To keep fighting for the loving of her man

Eb                             Ab
And, darling, when you've been satisfied
Db           Eb            Ab
And it isn't new to you no more
Cm       Fm       Eb      Dbmaj7  Ab
Think of me, I'll be here alone
        Bbm7       Cm7       Db            Eb
Waiting for you to find your way back home

To keep fighting for the loving of her man


[Pre-Chorus]

Eb                           Ab                 Bb
I know how hard you tried to hide this all from me
    Eb                           Ab                      Ebmaj7
But if you keep a silent heart I can't give you what you need
   F
So hold me close and hold me tight
      Bb                              Eb   C
Let's say goodnight and never say goodbye
