A Friend For Life

A   F#m   A   F#m   A

[Verse]
           A            F#m     
Through a smoke filled glass on a 
   A           F#m
desperate night
        A         E         D
When the sole of my shoe lets in 
rain
           Bm               E     
When the heart’s tired of running 
         A     G#     F#m
and the milk’s gone sour
            Bm       A       E
Will your feelings still be the 
same?

          A           F#m       
When the match won’t light so the 
   A            F#m
flames don’t tremble
          A          E          D
And the years are condemning us till
             Bm           E       
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me 
      A      G#      F#m
and a friend for life
         Bm        E        A
And I’m hoping it might be you.

[Verse]
        A           F#m    A     
When I think of life as a chance 
     F#m
not taken
      A          E            D
As a compromise tinged with regret
          Bm              E       
When the kids leave the breeding 
       A G#    F#m
and the T V’s king
          Bm          A        E
Will you tell me we’re not done yet,

       A      F#m       A        
Will you think of me as a distant 
F#m
island
         A          E         
Or will you come with me to the 
      D
moon?
          Bm           E          
I need a soul mate to hold me and 
   A     G#     F#m
a friend for life
         Bm        E        A
And I’m hoping it might be you

[Bridge]
G#         C#m        G#         
Give me a asylum and I’ll keep 
  C#m
the faith,
D           A              E
Keep me in coffee and so safe
D                   C#m     A    
And I’ll feed your cats,And I’ll 
G#      F#m
paint walls
    Bm          E         A
And I’ll be your one-night stand

[Verse]
           A      F#m         A  
Will you come with me in the 
      F#m
certain knowledge
          A             E     
That the catch is – is this- no 
            D
catch at all
             Bm        E          
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me 
      A      G#   F#m
and a friend for life
          Bm       E        D     
And I’m hoping it might be you

Yeah I’m certain it must be you
