Intro: D5   G5   A5



D5              G5                 A5

  Supermarket lights burn in the darkness



E5                   D5              G5              A5

  The chilly winter nights bring the scarves from the drawer



D5                    G5                A5

  A crowd starts to gather on paving stone squares



E5                 D5          G5               A5

  Teeth start to chatter as the staff leave the store



      B5           G5           D5            A5

And daughters meet mothers and fathers meet sons



     B5                G5               D5   G5  A5

It's too dark to walk home without anyone



The shopping precinct's closed, it's like a graveyard

The chain falls through the spokes as I unlock my bike

I cycle to the pub where I meet with my friends

And I know that it's love as she pours me my pint



    B5               G5            D5                   A5

And strangers meet strangers and friends share their lives



  B5           G5                      D5      Bb5

I look at her again and feel butterflies



           A5             G5  NC

I pull the pillow to my side



        D5            A5  NC

And I imagine it is her



     A5               G5  NC

As I slip into the night,



  D5               A5  NC

I know what I prefer



      E5         D5          G5            D5

But I hope and I pray that one day she will say



             B5

That's it's true



         C5           G5     D5    G5  A5

I can't live without loving you



Now there's no one around I push the bike home

The rain's a lovely sound as it runs down the path

There's our lights in the road, they amber the night

And there's nobody home, so I soak in the bath



And bubbles meet bubbles as they become one

I think about the world and what I have done



I pull the pillow to my side...

....I can't live without loving you



D5              G5                  A5
