Intro: A

A                           E              A
Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past
                                 E                 A
We swore to each other that our love would surely last
                          E            A
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast
                            E           A
Now I am too thin and your love is too vast

        D            A
But I know from your eyes
        D                            A
And I know from your pretty little smile
        D                      A
That tonight, tonight will be fine
                                     E      E7
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
        A
For a while

Well, I choose the rooms that I live in with care
The windows are small and the walls are almost bare
They've only got one bed and they've only got one prayer
And I listen all night for your step on the stair

But I know from your eyes
And I know from your pretty little smile
That tonight, tonight will be fine
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while

Sometimes I see her undressing for me
She's the soft naked lady that love meant her to be
And she's moving her body so brave and so free
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory

And I know from your eyes
And I know from your pretty little smile
That tonight, tonight will be fine
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while

I've looked into the mirrors in numberless places
They all smile back at me with their troublesome faces
And the cards that they dealt me, there weren't any aces
And the horses never listen to me at the races

But I know from your eyes
And I know from your pretty little smile
That tonight, tonight will be fine
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while

There's still one or two of us walking the street
No arrows of direction painted under our feet
No angels to warn us away from the heat
And no honey to keep us where it is sweet

Ah but I know from your eyes
And I know from your pretty little smile
That tonight will be fine
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while

And I know from your eyes
And I know from your pretty little smile
That tonight will be fine
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while
