    D        D/G   D       C6add9
She happened to be walking

    D    D/G          D    C6add9
The same street as you

    D        D/G        D       C6add9
You gaze but there's no touching

            D        D/G         D    C6add9
In case you soil the perfect view
[Pre-Chorus]
     Gmaj7            Em7
Your life has been so empty

               A7sus4  G/B        C6add9
But there's no telling who you'll meet
[break] [Chorus]
      D   D/G         D     C6add9
Walk on,       stroll on

      D   D/G         D     C6add9
Walk on,       stroll on
[Verse 2]
D     D/G      D         C6add9
Amber lights emprint themselves

        D        D/G         D    C6add9
In your soul and in your brain

     D      D/G       D       C6add9
That smokey blue transfusion

              D      D/G           D    C6add9
Will keep you warm beneath the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
     Gmaj7            Em7
Your life has been so empty

               A7sus4  G/B        C6add9
But there's no telling who you'll meet
[break] [Link 1] [G] [Eb] One glimpse of heaven
          G       G         Em 
And she's walking past your street
[break] [Chorus]
      D   D/G         D     C6add9
Walk on,       stroll on

D      D/G     D        C6add9
Winter takes a while to pass

    D       D/G        D    C6add9
But soon it will be May

D     D/G    D       C6add9
Sun embraces colour

                 D           D/G      D     C6add9
Then there's the sweet scent of the hay
[Pre-Chorus]
    Gmaj7            Em7
You know I need your warm blue eyes

   A7sus4   G/B          C6add9
To guide me through this night
[break] [Link 2]
[G]          [Eb]               G6      G      Em
  And in the morning, you're as certain as the light

No more excuses,

Walk on,       stroll on
