We are,

Cha-sing love, up against the,
Em F#m7b5 G Am

We are strangers by day,
F/G C
Lovers by night.
Dm6
Knowing it's so wrong,
Esus
But feeling so right.
Verse 3:
Am
If I'm with friends and we should meet,
G Fmaj7
Just pass me by; don't even speak.
Em7 Dm7
Know the word's "dis-creet",
Em7 G Am
With part-time lo-vers.
Em7 Am
But if there's some emergency;
G Fmaj7
Have a male friend to ask for me,
Em7
So then she won't,
Dm7
Peek its really you;
Em7 G Am
My part-time lo-ver.

I've got some-thing that I must tell;

You and me;
Em7 G Am
Part-time lov-ers.
But, she and he;
Em7 G Am
Part-time lov-ers.
