Darling lately something's been missing
C                 G
When we go out at night
          C            G
There's a fire in your eyes
C             C7 F   
But something is missingt
C               G        C   C7
It just doesn't burn as bright
F
You take my hand more than you used to
C                              C7
But I'm not sure that it's love
F
And you seem to stumble more often these days
C                              C7
Darling I keep holding you up
G                     F
Even your friends say you're out of touch
C               G            C   G
Darling are you drinking too much
C       G       C            C7  F
Darling lately I see you've been buying
C                        G
Your cocktails two at a  time
C                  G        C         C7  F
And when it's last call and your glass is empty
C           G         C
You've been finishing mine
F
You take my hand more than you used to
C                              C7
But I'm not sure that it's love
F
And you seem to stumble more often these days
C                              C7
Darling I keep holding you up
G                     F
Even your friends say you're out of touch
C               G            C   G
Darling are you drinking too much
F
You used to be the life of the party
    C                              C7
And not just the talk of the town
F
And you used to go out every night
C                              C7
Now you're afraid of the crowd
G                         F 
Even our friends say that your out of touch
C               G            C   F
Darling are you drinking too much
C               G            C   
Darling are you drinking too much
