C
Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
Dm
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
G
Ok you take cream and sugar?
C
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
Dm
In the company of has-beens
G
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
C
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
Dm
In the pages of history
G
In suicidal cavalry attacks
C G/B Am
I recognise...
F G C
Myself in every stranger's eyes
C
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
Dm
In council care and county courts
G
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
C
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts in the China seas
Dm
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
G
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
C G/B Am
I recognise...
F G C
Myself in every stranger's eyes
C C
And now from where I stand
Dm G
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
C C/E
I look around, I search the skies
Dm G
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
C C/B Am
And I see signs of half remembered days
G F C/E Dm G
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
C C/B Am
I recogn-a-a-a-a-a-ise...
F G C
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
F G
As we lie here in the dark
Em
Nothing interferes it's obvious
Am
How to beat the tears
Dm
That threaten to snuff out
G C
The spark of our love
