F#m
Secret calls long after hours
   G#
Suspicions rise, why does she whisper
 Bm
Someone's hiding something
F#m
What's going on

She smiles and finds an excuse to go out
 G#
Meets him somewhere on the edge of town
    Bm
For one more night of real love
F#m            C#
How can it be wrong

                  D            F#m
'Cause when they turn out the lights
          E
In their rented room tonight
     C#                        B  A G# C#
Two lovers won't be lonely anymore

Chorus:
F#m
When it's a desperate love, risk is high
                        D   C#
Cheating hearts making alibis
         F#m
In the shadows someone is waiting
                            D      C#
Waiting for their lover to come tonight

Repeat Intro once

A cheater's conscience has no pride
To spend the night with another man's wife
Lie to his best friend
And never think twice

He knows where to find what he longs to have
And do anything 'cause he wants her that bad
Love has many faces
Faces to hide

'Cause when they turn out the lights
In their rented room tonight
Two lovers won't be lonely anymore
