[Verse 1]
E
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
E
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]
E
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
E
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
E
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
E A
A longing in her heart
E A
Longing in her heart

[Verse 3]
E
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
E
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
E
And no one to tell us why
[Verse 4]
E
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
E
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
E
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
