A Friend For Life

Tom: A

A   F#m   A   F#m   A 

[Verse]
           A            F#m        A           F#m
Through a smoke filled glass on a desperate night
        A         E         D
When the sole of my shoe lets in rain
           Bm               E              A     G#     F#m
When the heart’s tired of running and the milk’s gone sour
            Bm       A       E
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          E          D
And the years are condemning us till
             Bm           E             A      G#      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]
A   F#m   A   F#m

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

       A      F#m       A        F#m
Will you think of me as a distant island
         A          E               D
Or will you come with me to the moon?
          Bm           E             A     G#     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

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

[Verse]
           A      F#m         A        F#m
Will you come with me in the certain knowledge
          A             E                 D
That the catch is – is this- no catch at all
             Bm        E                A      G#   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
