View chords used in this chart
C
I've been standing on a corner
Dm
Since a quarter after seven
G
I was down to my last cigarette
C
And the clock in the window
Dm G
At a quarter to eleven
 
C
I was watching all the people
Dm
Passing by me going places
G
Just the loneliest guy in the town
C Am
Looking for a friendly smile
Dm G
But all that I could see were faces
 
 
C G
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
G C
I found the stranger I've been looking for
C G
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
G
I knew the stranger in the crowd
C
And I would be stranger no more
 
C
The love that comes on the corner
Dm
At a quarter to eleven
G
I thought you were to good to be true
C
All my life I had believed
Dm G
That angels only live in heaven
C G
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
G C
Each day is sweeter than the day before
 
C G
My cup runned overflowing
G
because the stranger in the crowd
C
And I would be stranger no more
 
(solo) C Dm G C
 
C G
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
G C
I found the stranger I've been looking for
C G
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
G
I knew the stranger in the crowd
C
And I would be stranger no more
G
I knew the stranger in the crowd
C
And I would be stranger no more
