Tabbed by Roj Vincent


Intro:  A / F#m / A / F#m / A / E

      A      F#m    A
Through a smoke filled glass on a desperate night

             D        F#m
When the sole of my shoe lets in rain

      Bm        E       A   Ab   F#m
When the heart?s tired of running and the milk?s gone sour

      Bm    A   Bm  E    D
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           D     A
And the years are condemning us ?till

       Bm      E       A      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 break : 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    A
As a compromise tinged with regret

     Bm       E       A  E  F#m
When the kids leave for breeding and the T  V?s king

     Bm     F#m    A    E   A
Will you tell me we're not done yet,

     F#m    A
Will you think of me as a distant island

                 D      A
Or will you come with me to the moon?

     Bm      E       A     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

Ab     C#m   Ab      C#m
Give me a sign and I'll keep the faith,

D      A      F#m   E
Keep me in coffee and so safe

D          C#m   A
And I'll feed your cats

  F#m    E    D    C#m
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
Will you come with me in the certain knowledge

     A               D
That the catch is ? there?s no catch at all


       C#m     Bm E     A     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
