I can’t light
no more of your (F)dark
(C)ness.
All my pic tures
seem to fade to black and (G)white.
I’m grow ing tired
and time stands still be (F)fore me,
fro zen here
on the lad der of my (G)life.
Too late
to save my self from (F)fall ing.
I took a chance
and changed your way of (G)life.
But you mis read
my mean ing when I (F)met (C)you,
closed the door,
and left me (C)blind ed by the (G)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 my (G7)life
to wan der (C)free.
But (F)los ing ev ’ry thing is like the (G)sun go ing down on (C)me.
But (F)los ing ev ’ry thing is like the (C)sun go ing (F)down
(G)on (C)me.
