[C] [F]
[C] [F] [Dm] [G] I can't lie, [G] no more [F] of your [C] darkness
[F] [C] All [F]
my pictures seem to fade to black and [G] white
I'm [C] [G] [G]
growing [C] tired [G] and time stands [F] still before [C] [F] me
[C] [F]
Frozen here on the ladder of [G]
[C] [G] hope
Too late [C] [G] to save [F] myself from [C]
[F] falling
I [C] [F] took a chance and changed your [G] way of life
[C] [G] [C] [G] But you [C] misread [G] my meaning when [F] I [C] met you
Closed [F] the door and left [C] me blind
[G] My [F] [C] broken down love,
[Am] although I search myself
[Gb] It's always someone else I see
[C] I just allow a fragment of [G] your life to [C] wander free
And [F] [A] losing everything [G] is [D] like the [F] sun [C] going down on me
I [Bb] [F] [C]
[F] [Dm] [G] can't [C] find [G] [F] the right [Am] dramatic [C] line
[F] But see me once and see the way [G] I feel
Don't
[C] [G] discard me [F] just because you [C] think I mean you harm
But [Em] [F] these cuts I have, oh they [C] need love to heal [G] that need
[C] Don't let the sun go down on me
[Am] Although I search myself, it's [Gb] always someone else I see
[C] I just allow a fragment of your life [G] to [C] wander free
But [F] losing everything [G] is [Dm] like the [F] sun [C] going [G] down [C] on me
[F] [Fm]
[Bb] [C]
[Am] Although I search myself, [D] it's always someone else I see
[C] I just allow a fragment of [G] your life to wander [C] free
But [F] losing everything [G] is like [Dm] the [F] sun going [C] down on me
[F] [Ab]
