   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
