LEet me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
AHe's a short order coDok
Long on spEeed, sAhort on spDice
He reads his Ecustomers like a book
AHe's seen tDhis, and he's done thEat
Now he's maAkin' fried eggs an aDrt
But there's oEne thing hAe can't fDix no how
There's a loEnging in his heAart

EHe's tried for years to work it out
At the grAill and at his hoDme
Well he talks to his friEends, taAlks to himDself
He talks the cEhicken right off the bone
TaAlks to his woman and she DundersEtands
You know they're alAways eye to eDye
She runs the joEint, they liAve out baDck
Small hoEuse under a big sky

Well evAen the stars at niDght agEree

E E E E A

[Verse 1]

Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine

A D

He's a short order cook

E A D

Long on speed, short on spice

He reads his customers like a book

A D E

He's seen this, and he's done that

A D

Now he's makin' fried eggs an art

E A D

But there's one thing he can't fix no how

E A

There's a longing in his heart

[Verse 2]

He's tried for years to work it out

A D

At the grill and at his home

E A D

Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself

He talks the chicken right off the bone

A D E

Talks to his woman and she understands

A D

You know they're always eye to eye

E A D

She runs the joint, they live out back

Small house under a big sky

[Chorus]

A D E

Well even the stars at night agree

A D

She sky is falling apart

E A D

She knows cause she can feel it too

E A

There's a longing in her heart

A longing in her heart

[Verse 3]

Well now you and me, we're just like them

A D

We never wanted to be alone

E A D

So we made a pact, sealed with desire

For a happier house and home

A D E

Only to find it doesn't untie

A D

The knot where feelings die

E A D

There's a longing deep inside our hearts

And no one to tell us why

[Verse 4]

Our friends aren't looking for anything new

A D

They wouldn't know where to look

E A D

Well her, she likes running the joint

And he likes being a cook

A D E

Together they're doing very well

A D

They're might glad they could

E A D

But there's a fire burning towards them now

Coming from a distant wood

[Chorus]

A D E

And even the stars at night agree

A D

That the sky is falling apart

E A D

We know 'cause we can feel it too

E A

There's a longing in our hearts

E A

A longing in our hearts

E A

Longing in our hearts
