Intro: D G A
D G A
Supermarket lights burn in the darkness
Em D/F# G A
The chilly winter nights bring the scarves from the drawer
D G A
A crowd starts to gather on paving stone squares
Em D/F# G A
Teeth start to chatter as the staff leave the store
Bm G D A
And daughters meet mothers and fathers meet sons
Bm G D G A
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
Bm G D A
And strangers meet strangers and friends share their lives

Bm G D Bb
I look at her again and feel butterflies
Am G NC
I pull the pillow to my side
D A NC
And I imagine it is her
Am G NC
As I slip into the night,
D A NC
I know what I prefer
Em D/F# G D/F#
But I hope and I pray that one day she will say
Bm
That's it's true
C G/A D G A
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
D G A
Supermarket lights burn in the darkness (repeat to fade)
