Verse

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.
