    Your name froze on     the winter air, an empty bench in Soho Square

        | Csus4     | C               | Csus4        | Am
Forgotten now I turn away, just save me for    a rainy day

           | Em   | Am               | Csus4   | C
But don't be sorry,    I don't want to hear  it, baby

    My feet froze in    the winter chill, I knew I'd probably get ill

        | Csus4          | C           | Csus4
But I was praying we could fill an empty bench and still

     | Am | Em      | Am              | Csus4 | C
You're so   sorry but I don't want your pity,   baby



CHORUS1:
Chords:
A    x02220    D  xx0232
F#m  244222    E  022100


| A                | F#m
  It's all yours now please don't tease

  | D                   | E
The pigeons shiver in the naked trees

          | A          | F#m
And I'll do anything but please don't hurt me

   | D                | E
Just kiss me quick 'cos it's my birthday

    | D             | A                | D             | E
And I feel so small I don't know why but no, I'm not too old to cry

Chords:

| C        | Csus4       | C
    An empty bench in Soho Square.

                  | Csus4             | Am
If you'd have come, you'd have found me there

            | Em               | Am             [Fill 1]
But you never did 'cos you don't care and I'm so sorry, baby


| C          | Csus4        | C             | Csus4          | C
  I don't mind loneliness too much but when I met   you, I was touched

           | Csus4         | C          | Csus4        | Am | Em
And that was good enough for me but do we always have to be   sorry?

| Am                   | Csus4  C
    Why can't we just be happy, baby?



CHORUS2:
Chords:
A    x02220    D  xx0232

| A               | F#m             | D            | E
  One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square

        | A               | F#m
And we'll dance around like we don't care

  | D              | E
And I'll be much too old to cry

         | D              | A                  | D    E
And you'll kiss me quick in case I die before my birthday


| A  | F#m        | D    E
          Before my birthday

| A  | F#m       |  D  | E  | A |
          Before my birthday

| A               | F#m             | D            | E
  One day you'll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square

 | A              | F#m           | D               | E
No I don't know the reason why I'll love you till the day I die

  | A               | F#m               | D           | E
But one day you'll be waiting there, come summertime in Soho Square

          | A               | F#m
And I'll be painting stars up in the sky

| D            | E           | A     | F#m
Before I get too old to cry, before my birthday

| D              | E           | A     | F#m | D
I hope I see those pigeons fly before my birth-day

 | E               | A       | F#m | D | E |
In Soho Square on my birthday
