[Verse]
          C       Csus4 C
I've been standing
     C       Csus4 C
On a corner
        Dm            Dm
Since a quarter after seven
      G7
I was down to my last cigarette
        C
And the clock in the window
     Dm          G7
At a quarter to eleven


[Verse]
      C       Csus4 C
I was watching
        C       Csus4 C
All the people
        Dm          Dm
Passing by me going places
         G7
Just the loneliest guy in the town
        C              Am
Looking for a friendly smile
             Dm7              G7
But all that I could see were faces


[Chorus]
    C                                     G7
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
  G7                                   C
I found the stranger I've been looking for
       C                            G7
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
           G7
I knew the stranger in the crowd and I would be
           | C Csus4 | C Csus4 |
Strangers no more


[Verse]
              C       Csus4 C
The love that comes
       C       Csus4 C
On the corner
     Dm          Dm
At a quarter to eleven
          G7
I thought you were to good to be true
       C
All my life I had believed
            Dm           G7
That angels only live in heaven


[Chorus]
    C                                     G7
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
     G7                            C
Each day is sweeter than the day before
    C                  G7
My cup of love was overflowing
            G7
Because the stranger in the crowd and I would be
           | C Csus4 | C Csus4 |
Strangers no more

[Chorus]
       C                            G7
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
  G7                                   C
I found the stranger I've been looking for
       C                            G7
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
           G7
I knew the stranger in the crowd and I would be
           | C Csus4 | C Csus4 |
Strangers no more
           G7
I knew the stranger in the crowd and I would be
           | C Csus4 | C Csus4 |
Strangers no more


[Outro]
        C
La, la, la
                        G7
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
        G7
La, la, la
