[Verse 1]
 E
Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
A                    D
He's a short order cook
          E     A         D
Long on speed, short on spice
             E
He reads his customers like a book
A          D                    E
He's seen this, and he's done that
           A                   D
Now he's makin' fried eggs an art
             E         A        D
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
            E              A
There's a longing in his heart

[Verse 2]
E
He's tried for years to work it out
         A                D
At the grill and at his home
                        E       A         D
Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself
              E
He talks the chicken right off the bone
  A                        D     E
Talks to his woman and she understands
                   A            D
You know they're always eye to eye
               E           A        D
She runs the joint, they live out back
        E
Small house under a big sky
    
[Chorus]
       A                 D     E
Well even the stars at night agree
 A                   D                
She sky is falling apart  
                  E       A       D
She knows cause she can feel it too
            E              A
There's a longing in her heart
 E                A
A longing in her heart
  E              A
Longing in her heart

[Verse 3]
E
Well now you and me, we're just like them
           A            D
We never wanted to be alone
              E            A      D
So we made a pact, sealed with desire
         E
For a happier house and home
 A                D       E
Only to find it doesn't untie
      A                  D
The knot where feelings die
                    E    A          D
There's a longing deep inside our hearts
 E
And no one to tell us why

[Verse 4]
 E
Our friends aren't looking for anything new
        A                    D
They wouldn't know where to look
           E             A      D 
Well her, she likes running the joint
 E
And he likes being a cook
  A                      D    E
Together they're doing very well
          A              D
They're might glad they could
                     E       A           D
But there's a fire burning towards them now
      E
Coming from a distant wood

[Chorus]
     A                  D     E
And even the stars at night agree
          A               D
That the sky is falling apart
           E            A      D
We know 'cause we can feel it too
 E                         A
There's a longing in our hearts
  E                 A     
A longing in our hearts
  E               A
Longing in our hearts
