What should I compare you to, that sun on winter's day?
A augmentedA        E MajorE           BB       B7B7
Tulips standing proud and bright when all around is grey
E MajorE                BB     E MajorE
What should I compare you to, a comet or a star?
 A augmentedA       E MajorE           BB          E MajorE
A augmentedA little flicker where you've been or a lighthouse where you are?
   A augmentedA       E MajorE     BB        E MajorE
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life
   A augmentedA        E MajorE       BB       E MajorE
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night

You've fallen in love once before, now it's happening again
         A augmentedA      D MajorD     A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
Just do what you use to, I'll do what I ca a a an
       E MajorE               BB           A augmentedA  E MajorE
And she'll be once, twice, three times your lady, and I'll be her man

What should I compare you to, that window facing south?
   A augmentedA        E MajorE        BB          B7B7
That captures sun in tiny frames and throws it round the house
E MajorE                BB      E MajorE
What should I compare you to, a compass or a stone?
  A augmentedA          E MajorE            BB          E MajorE
The rock that holds the whole thing down or the hand that points you home?
   A augmentedA       E MajorE     BB        E MajorE
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life

So listen up you middle aged or slightly older men
A augmentedA          E MajorE         BB        E MajorE
If they look old to you my friend, you sure look old to them
A augmentedA         E MajorE      BB         E MajorE
Take this from the rooster who found his speckled hen
   A augmentedA       E MajorE         BB       E MajorE
It's never down to who you love; it's purely down to when
