D                                     A
I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely
D                                          A
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
G
I know it's awful hard to try to make love long
 D
distance
C                     Em
But I really needed stimulation
G                          A   G   A  
Though it was only my ima-gin-at-ion

Is all you need

When am I gonna take control,
get ahold of my emotions?
Why does it only seem to hit me
in the middle of the night?
You told me there's a number
I can always dial for assistance (ah, ah, ah)
I don't want to deal with outside action
Only you can give me satisfaction

Chorus:
It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sometimes a fantasy (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is all you need, oh

Oh, sure it would be better if
I had you here to hold me
Be better baby, but believe me,
it's the next best thing
I'm sure there's many times
you've wanted me to hear your secrets
Don't be afraid to say the words that'll move me
Anytime you want to tell them to me

Chorus:
It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sometimes a fantasy (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is all you need

It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
C                                 F
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
                                       D
It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)

                                  G
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)

It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
                                  G
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)

It's just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy)
It's not the real thing

It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
Ah!
