Intro : E A B E A B E A B A Abm Fsharpminor B 



         E                       Abm

When the day is done and there's nowhere to run (nowhere to run)

        A                           B 

And the people of the city have all lost and won 

         E             Abm

In your city dress you stand and stare (you stand and stare)

        A                           B

And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair 

        A                    E          

And the light (The Light) that shines (That Shines)

Fsharpminor       Abm

Paints a trace of sadness

        A                  E

On the street (The Street) I wait (I wait)

Fsharpminor         A

But I can't seem to get to you.



(Same Pattern)

oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier (it's gettin' late)

'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait 

So you move along where it's going on (it's going on)

And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn 

And the sun (The Sun) that shines (That Shines)

Paints a trace of sadness 

In your eyes (Those eyes) that cry (That Cry)

Wishing and hoping 

Oh...



CHORUS: 

E                   A

Sweet, sweet is the night

    B       E

Now you are near 

E                   A

Dark, dark were the days 

     B     E

They disappear

E                   A 

Sweet, sweet is the night

    B       E      A Abm Fsharpminor B

Now you are near.



(Same Pattern)

Well you did your thing and you lost your wings (you did your thing)

And you hurt so bad you lost everything 

And the tears that fall on the city wall (the city wall)

Will fade away with the rays of morning light THE LIGHT that shines THAT SINES

Paints a smile across your pretty face (Your Face)

I know (I know)

Everything is alright 

Alright... uh oo uh oo uh oo



REPEAT CHORUS x2
