[Intro]
A F#m A F#m A
[Verse]
A F#m A F#m
Through a smoke filled glass on a desperate night
A E D
When the sole of my shoe lets in rain
Bm E A G# F#m
When the heart’s tired of running and the milk’s gone sour
Bm A E
Will your feelings still be the same?
A F#m A F#m
When the match won’t light so the flames don’t tremble
A E D
And the years are condemning us till
Bm E A G# F#m
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me and a friend for life
Bm E A
And I’m hoping it might be you.
[Instrumental]
A F#m A F#m
A F#m A F#m
When I think of life as a chance not taken
A E D
As a compromise tinged with regret
Bm E A G# F#m
When the kids leave the breeding and the T V’s king
Bm A E
Will you tell me we’re not done yet,
A F#m A F#m
Will you think of me as a distant island
A E D
Or will you come with me to the moon?
Bm E A G# F#m
I need a soul mate to hold me and a friend for life
Bm E A
And I’m hoping it might be you
G# C#m G# C#m
Give me a asylum and I’ll keep the faith,
D A E
Keep me in coffee and so safe
D C#m A G# F#m
And I’ll feed your cats,And I’ll paint walls
Bm E A
And I’ll be your one-night stand
[Break]
A E A E D C#m Bm
E A E F#m Bm F#m E A
A F#m A F#m
Will you come with me in the certain knowledge
A E D
That the catch is – is this- no catch at all
Bm E A G# F#m
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me and a friend for life
Bm E D A F#m
And I’m hoping it might be you
Bm E A
Yeah I’m certain it must be you
