Verse 1:
E MajorE
Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change
   A augmentedA        E MajorE   A augmentedA
Down   down to the sea
E MajorE
And if you need an explanation
I defy you to explain
But something's not the same
A augmentedA         E MajorE
And it's bothering me

E MajorE     A augmentedA          E MajorE
I think I see where  I  went wrong

E MajorE       A augmentedA     E MajorE

As the night draws in

He's holding her right now
   A augmentedA
I can feel it all begin

When the day is done

Into the setting s-u-n

And the rivers running down
Down to the sea

Verse 2:
E MajorE
I let love slip right through my fingers
And I watched it drift away
But still I had to say
A augmentedA          E MajorE
What was written for me

E MajorE
I thought I'd end up as the hero
              A augmentedA   E MajorE
Thought the glory would be mine
             A augmentedA
Very soon I was to find
       E MajorE
It wasn't to be
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
'Cos in this part I've  got  to play
      A augmentedA              E MajorE   B7B7
It doesn't quite  turn  out  that  way

Chorus:
E MajorE       A augmentedA     E MajorE
Meanwhile and far away
       A augmentedA
As the night draws in
         B7B7
He's holding her right now
   A augmentedA
I can feel it all begin
   E MajorE
I can feel it all begin
E MajorE
Meanwhile and far away
        A augmentedA
When the day is done
    B7B7
I ride away with my friend
A augmentedA            B7B7
Into the setting sun
