I heard the knock on my door, I heard the [G#m] ring of [F#m] the bell, I got the letter [D] but I couldn't go.
[A]
So many thoughts in my head, so many places [G#m] to [F#m] be, so many faces that [D] I long to see.
[G] Standing in front of [F#] me tonight, the [E] lights will take me [D] [F#] just like a [A] thousand [D] nights before.
[G] [A] Why do you do this to you?
Why not sit back [E] and [F#m] relax?
Go to the islands and [D] forget it all.
[A] Slow down, you're moving too fast, you seem [E] afraid it won't [F#m] last.
Take my advice, go [D] straight and settle down.
[G] Thank you for caring [F#] but tonight the lights will [A] take [D]
me [F#] just like a [E] thousand nights [D] before.
