I can’t light

on the lad der of my (G)life.
Too late
to save my (G)self from (F)fall
ing,
I took a chance
and (F)changed your way of life.
But you mis read
my (G)mean ing (G)when I (F)met
you,
closed the door
and (F)left me blind
ed
by the light.
Don’t let the sun
go (C)down on me;
al though I search my self, it’s al ways (D7)some one else I see.
I’d just al low a frag ment of your life
to wan der free.
But (F)los ing ev ’ry thing

But these cuts (F)I have,
