Verse:
G C/G G G7/B F/C C F/C C F/D C/E
I can't light, no more of your darkness
F Bb/F F G
All my pictures, seem to fade to black and white
G G7/B F/C C C7/E
I'm growing tired, and time stands still before me
F Bb/F C/G G
Frozen here, on the ladder of my life
G C/G G G7/B F/C C F/C C F/D C/E
It's too late, to save myself from falling
F Bb/F F G
I took a chance, and changed your way of life
G G7/B F/C C C7/E
But you misread, my meaning when I met you
F C/G G G7/B
Closed the door, and left me blind by the light Ohhh
Chorus:
C C/Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me
F/A D/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G F/G G C C/Bb
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free yea
F (Let ring) F C/E Dm C/E Dm/F C/G G C
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Verse:
G C/G G G7/B F/C C F/C C F/D C/E
I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
F Bb/F F G
But see me once, and see the way I feel
G G7/B F/C C C7/E
Don't discard me, just because you think I mean you harm
F C/G G G7/B
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help them heal Oh
Chorus: (x2)
C C/Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me
F/A D7/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G F/G G C C/Bb
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free yea
F (Let ring) F C/E Dm C/E Dm/F C/G G C
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
