Standard (EADGBE)

If you have crying eyes

 Bring them along

 Or if you don't feel at ease

 Maybe I know your song

I don't mind if it takes us a little longer

I'm willing to stay here and love you 'til dawn

 It'll be all right

"Play me the one that you made up for me"

 It might be your night

"You say it's lost, but I don't believe it"

It might be mine

 So if you have doubts and fears

 Why stay alone

 You know, I felt that way for years

 Now the worst of it's gone

I don't care if it takes us a few hours

If you've got the heart for it, I'll find the power

 To make it all right

"Sing me the sad one you used to know"

 It might be your night

"It's either forgotten or you've changed it so"

It might be yours and it might be mine

 I don't want nobody crying for me

And I don't need your sympathy

 Oh, the night is a river

 Where the lonely are drowned

 And if you still love me

I'll be around

I can see by the look on your face that you're hurt

 I guess you wouldn't be here if you weren't

 It's all right cause

 It might be your night

 And it might be mine might be mine (over & over and fade)
