Intro: Bm / C
Bm C / Bm
Why wait for life to happen,
Bm C
when right before our eyes
Bm C
blind fate unwraps its patterns?
F / Am E dim
I just said "See you soon".
Am Bb
My piano was in tune
Eb A
when you walked out of the room.
Ab4 / Ab
It felt like any normal Friday.
At concert pitch, 440
the pressure's many tons;
the weight of life befalls me.
I wish I could pretend
my piano's on the mend.
You treated it like a friend, left it to settle down over the weekend.
B F dim
You've got a ticket on the terraces for the game on Saturday
B F dim
and afterwards you might go for a beer.
B F dim
On Sunday afternoon you'll take the family to the park
Dbm
and later, when it's getting dark
Eb
you'll say "We've still got that old spark",
Dbm Bb4 /Db
you'll say "Oh, aren't we just so lucky to be here...."
Ebm / Gb / Abm /Bbm / Gb / Abm / Ebm
Bm C / Bm
So stupid and so senseless....
Bm C
Sometimes we're pulled up short, quite shockingly defenceless.
Fm Eb dim
I don't know what to do: my piano's out of tune...
Ab4 / F dim
it's not as if I can assume that it's ever going to get any better now.
B F dim
A liquid lunch appointment when the working week is done,
B F dim
there's time for one more just before he goes.
B F dim
A quick glance at the watch and now it's time to head for home.
Dbm
And so it's goodbye to the ladies,
grabs the keys to his Mercedes,
B Gb6
thinking "Maybe I should get a cab....".
But no.
Bm C
Blind drunk, he met you head on.
Bm C
On a normal Friday afternoon.
