Friend For Life

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

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

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

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

            Bm       A     Bm
Will your feelings still be the 
    E        D
same?

          A           F#m       
When the match won’t light so the 
   A            F#m
flames don’t tremble

          A                    
And the years are condemning us 
  D         A
‘till

             Bm           E       
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me 
      A            F#m
and a friend for life

         Bm        E        A
And I’m hoping it might be you.

        A           F#m    A     
When I think of life as a chance 
     F#m
not taken

      A          E            D  
As a compromise tinged with 
      A
regret

          Bm              E       
When the kids leave for breeding 
       A    E    F#m
and the T    V’s king

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

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

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

          Bm           E          
I need a soul mate to hold me and 
   A          F#m
a friend for life

         Bm        E        A
And I’m hoping it might be you

Ab         C#m      Ab           
Give me a sign and I’ll keep the 
C#m
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

          A                        
Will you come with me in the 
  F#m
certain knowledge

          A                        
That the catch is – there’s no 
      D
catch at all


             C#m          Bm  E  
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me 
       A         F#m
and a friend for life

And I’m hoping it might be you
 A   F#m

Yeah I’m certain it must be you
