we all have pain
            Em   G
We all have sorrow
C                F

you have to bear
               Em  G
That you can't carry
C                F
I'm right up the road

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

Sovereign Light Cafe

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

Intro: C F C

C                             C6      C
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
                            C6         C7
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
      F                                     C  
I was soft inside there was something going on.

C                             C6      C
You do something to me that I can't explain
                     C6      C7         F                
Hold me closer and I feel no pain every beat of my heart
                       C           
We got something going on.

C              Fmaj7
Tender love is blind
              F
It requires a dedication.
Fm
All this love we feel needs no conversation.
   C                C6 C
We ride it together uh huh
       C                    C6 C
Making love with each other uh huh.

C
Islands in the stream
C6      F
That is what we are
Dm                        G
No one in between how can we be wrong?
      C           C6  F
Sail away with me to another world
         C                C6 C
And we rely on each other uh huh
         Dm               C6 C
From one lover to another uh huh.

C                               C6      C
I can't live without you if the love is gone
                               C6     C7
Everything is nothing when you got no one
            F
And you did walk in the night
                           C6   C
Slowly losing sight of the real thing.

    C                              C6     C
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
                            C6     C7
Too deep in love and we got no way out
        F
And the messages is clear
                              C6   C7
This could be the year of the real thing.

C                Fmaj7                    F
No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never.
   Fm                              
We start and end as one in love forever
   C                C6 C
We ride it together uh huh
       C                    C6 C
Making love with each other uh huh.

C
Islands in the stream
C6      F

      C           C6  F
Sail away with me to another world
         C                C6 C
And we rely on each other uh huh
         Dm               C6 C
From one lover to another uh huh.
