Em G/C
your vow was your smile
as we move down the isle
D Em Am
of the last bus home
Bm
and this is where ill go
Em Dm C
just when it rains

Em
blinking and stoned
rain in your hair
Dm C
you only smoke cause it’s something to share
Em

to have and to hold
Dm Em D/F# G/C
the sodium light turning silver to gold
D Em G/C
spitfire thin and strung like a violin

G/C
yours was the face with a grace
D Em
from a different age
G/C

D Em G/C
you were the sun in my sunday morning
D
telling me never to go
Em G/C
so i’ll live on the smile
and move down the isle
D Em Am
of the last bus home
Dm
and if you’re running late
Am
this is where i’ll go
Bm
know i’ll always wait
