E         C#m          B
Met her smoking a cigarette
      A           E C#m B A
In a toilet cubicle
Red  dress, tattooed chest
She's beautiful

This ain't the time or place to start a future
But darling I don't care
Broken hearts can find a love
To make them whole anywhere

E       A                 E
Broken hearts can find a love
               B
to make them whole anywhere
E
Darling, here we go again

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 our hardships say
A                       B
And when I heard those words and knew them
                   F#m                         B
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?

She told about her mum and dad
And they sound just like mine
Day by day, exchanging names
We're two souls intertwined
We have both got it wrong
From time to time and let that go
With each other, hand in hand
As we mend broken souls
Darling, here we go again

We are only blood and bones
That cover beating hearts
Scarred by sticks and stones
But we know who we are
I could put you back together
When you come apart
We should make a start now

Chorus

        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

Can you feel the love in mine?
