[Intro]
E C#mB A
x2
[Verse]
E C#m B A E C#m B A
Met her smoking a cigarette, in a toilet cubicle
E C#m B A E C#m B A
Ripped dress, tattooed chest she's beautiful
E C#m B A
This ain't the time or place to start a future, but  darling
E C#m B A
I don't care
G#m A E B E
Broken hearts can find a love to make them whole anywhere
E
Darling, here we go again
[Pre-Chorus]
A B C#m
We are only man or woman and we all make mistakes
G#m
Don't you know we're only human, it's what I heard you say
A B
And when I heard those words and knew them
F#m A
I could feel your pain 'cause I have felt the same, oh
[Chorus]
E B A E
Oh, she said we are penguins on the ice.
B A E
We're not meant to fly, but god knows we can try
B A C#m
Oh, I see a hope that's in her eyes.
B E
Can you feel the love in mine?
[Verse 2]
E C#m B A E C#m B A
You told me about your mum and dad and they sound just like mine
E C#m B A E C#m B A
Day by day, exchanging names, we're two souls intertwined
E C#m B A E C#m B A
We have both got it wrong from time to time and let that go
G#m A E B E
With each other, hand in hand as we mend broken souls
E
Darling, here we go again
[Pre-Chorus]
A B C#m
We are only blood and bones that cover beating hearts
G#m
Scarred by sticks and stones but we know who we are
A B F#m A
I could put you back together when you come apart, we should make a start now
[Chorus]
E B A E
Oh, she said we are penguins on the ice.
B A E
We're not meant to fly, but god knows we can try
B A C#m
Oh, I see a hope that's in her eyes.
B E
Can you feel the love in mine?
[Bridge]
C#m A E B C#m
And it feels like we felt serenity
A E B C#m
And some things are not what they seem
A E B C#m
My love, right now it's only you and me
[Chorus]
E B A E
Oh, she said we are penguins on the ice.
B A E
We're not meant to fly, but god knows we can try
B A C#m
Oh, I see a hope that's in her eyes.
B E
Can you feel the love in mine?
C#m B E
Can you feel the love in mine?
