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