Kitchen light slow dance

Acoustic pop ballad, warm intimate male tenor with close-mic delivery and intimate vocal reverb, fingerstyle acoustic guitar leading over upright bass and soft brushed drums, strings swelling into the final chorus, slow 12/8 waltz feel at 60 BPM, key of G major

[Intro – fingerstyle guitar, soft]
(G – Em – C – D)

[Verse 1]
G                Em
We were strangers in the rain that night,
C                     D
Sharing one umbrella and a streetlamp's light,
G                  Em
You laughed at how my shoes were soaking through,
C                      D
And I forgot the words I meant to say to you.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                C
Now the years have found their way,
G/B               D
But you still turn my night to day.

[Chorus]
G            D/F#       Em        C
So come on, love, dance with me in the kitchen light,
G            D          C         G
No music playing, but we're keeping time all right.
G            D/F#       Em        C
Your hand in mine, my heart against your chest,
G         D        C        G
I've traveled far, but here is where I rest.

[Verse 2]
G                  Em
Coffee's cooling on the window sill,
C                       D
The whole world's quiet, and the whole world's still,
G                 Em
You hum a melody you made up on the spot,
C                        D
And I swear it's every song I ever sought.

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                C
Now the years have found their way,
G/B               D
But you still turn my night to day.

[Bridge – building, strings enter]
Em                 C
If the stars fall out of the sky,
G                  D
I'll still be here, by your side,
Em                 C
Through the gray and through the gold,
G                  D
I'll keep loving you till we're old.

[Final Chorus – full band, strings swell]
G            D/F#       Em        C
So come on, love, dance with me in the kitchen light,
G            D          C         G
No music playing, but we're keeping time all right.
G            D/F#       Em        C
Your hand in mine, my heart against your chest,
G         D        C        G
You're every home I've ever known, and the best.

[Outro – soft, guitar only]
G         D        C        G
Dance with me... in the kitchen light.
