    D        D/G   D       C6add9
She happened to be walking
    D    D/G          D    C6add9
The same street as you
    D        D/G        D       C6add9
You gaze but there's no touching
            D        D/G         D    C6add9
In case you soil the perfect view
     Gmaj7            Em7
Your life has been so empty
               A7sus4  G/B        C6add9 [break]
But there's no telling who you'll meet

Amber lights emprint themselves
        D        D/G         D    C6add9
In your soul and in your brain
     D      D/G       D       C6add9
That smokey blue transfusion
              D      D/G           D    C6add9
Will keep you warm beneath the rain
     Gmaj7            Em7
Your life has been so empty
               A7sus4  G/B        C6add9 [break]
But there's no telling who you'll meet

[G]              [Eb]

Winter takes a while to pass
    D       D/G        D    C6add9
But soon it will be May
D     D/G    D       C6add9
Sun embraces colour
                 D           D/G      D     C6add9
Then there's the sweet scent of the hay
    Gmaj7            Em7
You know I need your warm blue eyes
   A7sus4   G/B          C6add9 [break]
To guide me through this night
