[A]
[E]
[A]
Midnight fell in the distance close down the line a whistle blows
[B] headlights shine through [E] the window [A] pane
Listen to the tires [B] hissing in the rain
[E] Radio plays a guitar strums in [A] the city heart night's engine hums
[B] Every day they turn off the [A] light
Listen to the sound of the city night
[C#m] There's a million dreams on the city streets
[F#m] Every dream has a heartbeat
[E] Don't be [A] afraid,
[E] don't be [A] afraid,
[E] don't be [B] afraid
As [C#m] the night's [A] path needle slips [F#m] through twilight's turnkey [A] streams
And [E] the sounds of [A] the city night, [E] the sounds of the city night
The sounds of the city night [B] echo through [E] our dreams
[A]
[E]
[A]
[E] The streetlight night, a whistle blows
[A] On city streets beneath the north stars
[B] The night beyond [E] all that I [A] can see
The same moon shines [B] down on you and me
[C#m] A photograph, [A] a memory
[F#m] A picture that [A] I hold with me
[E] On twilight's edge, [A] a crimson stain
[E] I see your face [A] and I'm afraid
[E] I hear your voice [A] so far away
[B] Close to me [A] I hear you say
[E] Don't be [A] afraid,
[E] don't be [A] afraid,
[E] don't be [B] afraid
As [C#m] the end of the [A] summer tides on
[F#m] Scots you leave [A] a hand
[E] Night let's fall [A] on a starry show
[E] Night let's fall [A] on a starry show
[E] Night let's fall [A] on a starry show
[B] Across your shoulder [A] there
