Lyrics

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.
