D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
When the sun goes down, down on your street
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
Oh, let me be the one you meet
D MajorD DsusDsus B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
In the lamplight hung when the night has just begun
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
And though you fear where shadows fall
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
There’s nothing there to harm you at all
D MajorD DsusDsus B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Uncover your eyes, presume uncertain skies
E minorEm
And rise, arise
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Step into the night, it’ll be alright

When the sun goes down, down on your street
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
And you’re feeling strangely incomplete
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Oh, please don’t grieve for days that fell like leaves
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
Under a moon that hangs from silver strings
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
We know not what this darkness brings
D MajorD DsusDsus B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
The stars all gleam with possibilities
E minorEm
And rise, arise
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Step into the night, it’ll be alright
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
When the sun goes down, down on your street
D MajorD DsusDsus G+G
Oh, let me be the one you meet

For I’ve waited years for you to return to me
E minorEm
So rise, arise
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Step into the night
E minorEm
Yes rise, arise
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
And step into the night
E minorEm
Rise, arise
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
And step into the night, it’ll be alright
