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
