(The intro is merely the first two lines of the verse progression, followed by the first
two lines of the chorus progression, one time):

E  AbM  A  E  B  E
Dbm  A  E  Gbm  Ab A  B  E



Verse 1:
E       Abm       A         E    B
When you come down, will you stay the night with me?
                   E
Or are you gonna leave before the morning light?
E       Abm       A         E    B
When you come down, will you come to my front door?
                   E
Or are you gonna knock softly at my window?

Chorus:
       Dbm    A          E
'Cause I am tired of living like we are strangers
Gbm            Ab A  B    E
Just to walk down the street in broad daylight
       Dbm    A          E
'Cause I am tired of living life in the shadows
Gbm            Ab    A    B   E
Don't know where I'll go, but I'm leaving here tonight


Verse 2:
E       Abm       A             E    B
When you look down from your house on the lights of the city
              E
Do you try to guess which light is mine?
E       Abm     A       E    B
When you come down, I won't be here any longer
                    E
There will be a note for you under my front doormat


Chorus:
       Dbm    A          E
'Cause I am tired of living like we are strangers
Gbm            Ab A  B    E
Just to walk down the street in broad daylight
       Dbm    A          E
'Cause I am tired of living life in the shadows
Gbm            Ab    A    B   E
Don't know where I'll go, but I'm leaving here tonight

Gbm            Ab    A    B   E
Don't know where I'll go, but I'm leaving here tonight


Notes:
-The Ab to A transition in the chorus is quick beat; you can definitely hear it in the
song, but if you're a novice (like me) and the transition is a little quick, you can skip the Aflat and just
land on the A
