Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Fsharpminor
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run (nowhere to run)
And the people of the city have all lost and won
In your city dress you stand and stare (you stand and stare)
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
And the light (The Light) that shines (That Shines)
Fsharpminor
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street (The Street) I wait (I wait)
Fsharpminor
But I can't seem to get to you.
(Same Pattern)
oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier (it's gettin' late)
'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
So you move along where it's going on (it's going on)
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn
And the sun (The Sun) that shines (That Shines)
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes (Those eyes) that cry (That Cry)
Wishing and hoping
Oh...
Chorus
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near
Dark, dark were the days
They disappear
Sweet, sweet is the night
Fsharpminor
Now you are near.
(Same Pattern)
Well you did your thing and you lost your wings (you did your thing)
And you hurt so bad you lost everything
And the tears that fall on the city wall (the city wall)
Will fade away with the rays of morning light THE LIGHT that shines THAT SINES
Paints a smile across your pretty face (Your Face)
I know (I know)
Everything is alright
Alright... uh oo uh oo uh oo
REPEAT CHORUS x2
