C                 F      C             F 
And he'll tell her  he's working late again  
        C                      F               C 
But she knows too well there's something going on  
F            C       F        C       F 
She's been neglected  and she needs a friend  
       C                 F            C 
So her trembling fingers dial the telephone 
[Strophe]
F       C                     F 
Lord it hurts her doing this again  
         C                    F            C 
He's the best friend that her husband ever knew  
F          C    F        C                F 
When she's lone-ly  he's more than just a friend  
         C                F             C 
He's the one she longs to give her body to

                              F 
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers  
       C              F 
Hoping no one else discovers  
           C            Am          Dm         G7 
Where they go what they do in their secret hideaway 
         C                     F 
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers  
           C                F 
They don't want to hurt the other  
        C           F 
So they love in the nighttime  
                                C 
And shake hands in the light of day
[Strophe]
                F          C        F 
When it's over  there's no peace of mind  
       C                          F           C 
Just a longing for the way things should have been  
F          C     F        C         F 
And she wonders  why some men never find  
       C             F           C 
That a woman needs a lover and a friend

Hoping no one else discovers  
           C            Am          Dm         G7 
Where they go what they do in their secret hideaway  
        C                     F 
Daytime friends and nighttime lovers  
           C                F 
They don't want to hurt the other  
        C           F 
So they love in the nighttime
