Lyrics

(D)Here I am, wait ing, I’ll have to leave soon.

(D)Why am I

(Dsus2)hold ing on?

We knew this day would come, we knew it all a long.

(D)How did it

(Dsus2)come so fast?

This is our

last night,

but it’s late

and I’m try ing not to sleep.

’Cause I know

when I wake

I will have to slip a way.

And when the day light comes I’ll have (Bm)to go, but to night I’m gon na hold you so close.

’Cause in the day light we’ll be on (Bm)our own, but to night I need to hold you so close.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Here I am star ing at your per fec tion (D)in my arms,

The sky is get ting light, the stars are burn ing out.

(D)Some bod y

(Dsus2)slow it down.

This is way

too hard,

’cause I know

when the sun comes up I will leave.

This is my

last glance

that will soon be mem o ry.

And when the day I nev er want ed to stop be cause I don’t want to start all o ver, start all o ver.

I was a fraid of the dark, but now it’s all that I want, all that I want, all that I want.

And when the day light comes I’ll have (Bm)to go, but to night I’m gon na hold you so close.

’Cause in the day light we’ll be on (Bm)our own, but to night I need to hold you so close.

And when the day light comes I’ll have (Bm)to go, but to night I’m gon na hold you so close.

’Cause in the day light we’ll be on (Bm)our own, but to night I need to hold you so close.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes. The original is in D, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Daylight" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
