Somewhere on a Saturday morning, there's a girl in a window (Girl in a window) 
         G7M                       C7M                   G7M                    C7M 
Watching people passing by as she clutches on her aching heart (On her a-aching heart, heart) 
                                 C7M 
She's a sweet coffee sipper since life has been so bitter 
      D                                C7M                G7M     C7M 
She's learning how to live without the man who gave up on her now 
             G7M 
Love let her down 
           C7M 
I need the band, I need the band, hm 
G7M                         C7M                        G7M                 C7M 
Somewhere in the traffic on Bond Street, a middle-aged man was driving his van 
          G7M                          C7M 
He's been awful low of late, but he'll never show his mates 
       G7M       C7M 
He's a man's man 
D                     C7M 
Working like a dog, a pile of bills to pay 
    D                       C7M                             G7M   C7M 
The last lonely pint at the bar will be the highlight of his  day 
                  G7M                  C7M 
And every day the same (Still, still, still, still)

Still, he must believe, happier times ahead 
            Am7 
Life is not fair, life can be hard 
                  Bm7 
But we only get one (We only get one) 
             Bm7 
Whatever may come (Whatever may come) 
              Am7                     D7 
Find a little faith to hold on, my friend 
                           G7M     C7M 
There will be happier times   again 
       G7M         C7M 
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah-yeah

Somewhere in the middle of England 
                   G7M        C7M 
Auntie Jean is up crying again 
      G7M 
After sixty years of marriage 
    C7M                             G7M               C7M 
Her Roger has left her alone in the land of the living 
            D 
Ooh, she's cried a hundred seas 
C7M 
No one understands 
    D                            C7M                     G7M    C7M 
The only one who'd get it, isn't here anymore to hold her  hand 
       G7M                 C7M 
Oh-oh, hand (Oh, hand, oh, hand, oh, hand)

Life is not fair, life can be hard 
                Bm 
But we only get one (We only get one) 
             Bm7 
Whatever may come (Whatever may come) 
              Am7                        D7 
Find a little faith to hold on, my friend 
                           G7M                   C7M 
There will be happier times  again (Happier, happier, yeah, yeah)

Oh-oh, yeah, huh 
 


[Ponte]
 
G7M      C7M     G7M       C7M 
It can't rain forever, oh, 'ever 
             G7M 
I don't know how, I 
    C7M        G7M C7M 
I don't know when 
  G7M        C7M    G7M 
I don't know how or when 
  C7M 
I don't, I don't 
              G7M 
There must be happier 
              C7M 
There must be happier 
              G7M            C7M 
There must be happier times again

May you know peace that surpasses all understanding, I wish you this 
          D7                                         G7M 
And as I said, happier times (There will be happier times again)
