Kirsty Maccoll - Soho Square

Eb Ebsus4 Eb
Your name froze on the winter air
Ebsus4 Eb
An empty bench in Soho Square
Ebsus4 Eb
Forgotten now I turn away
Ebsus4 Cm
Just save me for a rainy day
Gm Cm [Fill 1] Eb
But don't be sorry, I don't want to hear it baby


Ebsus4 Eb
My feet froze in the winter chill
Ebsus4 Eb
I knew I'd probably get ill
Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
But I was praying we could fill an empty bench and still
Cm Gm Cm [Fill 1]
You're so sorry but I don't want your pity baby


C Am
It's all yours now please don't tease
F G
The pigeons shiver in the naked trees
C Am
And I'll do anything but please don't hurt me
F G
Just kiss me quick 'cos it's my birthday
F C F G
And I feel so small I don't know why but no I'm not too old to cry

Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4

Eb Ebsus4 Eb
An empty bench in Soho Square.
Ebsus4 Cm
If you'd have come you'd have found me there
Gm Cm [Fill 1]
But you never did 'cos you don't care and I'm so sorry baby
Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4 Eb
I don't mind loneliness too much but when I met you I was touched
Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4 Cm Gm
And that was good enough for me but do we always have to be sorry
Cm [Fill 1]
Why can't we just be happy baby?

C Am F G
One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square
C Am
And we'll dance around like we don't care
F G
And I'll be much too old to cry
F C F G
And you'll kiss me quick in case I die before my birthday

C Am F G
Before my birthday
C Am F G
Before my birthday

Play G at end of solo

C Am F G
One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square
C Am F G
No I don't know the reason why I'll love you till the day I die
C Am
But one day you'll be waiting there
F G
Come summertime in Soho Square
C Am
And I'll be painting stars up in the sky
F G C Am
Before I get too old to cry before my birthday
F G C Am F
I hope I see those pigeons fly before my birthday
G C Am F G
In Soho Square on my birthday
