The Last Question (In the Dead of the Night)

E MajorE         A augmentedA           G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
How can I feel so alive with you darlin'
    BB      E MajorE
In the dead of the night
            A augmentedA        G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
Why do I reach out for you every mornin'
    BB       E MajorE
At the first sign of light

A augmentedA             E MajorE
How could I not know you knew you were leavin'
          B7B7
How could I not realize
E MajorE          A augmentedA          G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
How could I not know you were pretending
       BB         E MajorE
Where did the truth lie in your eyes

Why do I feel so much love for you darlin'
Feel so much love deep inside
Oh why do I still feel alive with you darlin'
Here in the dead of the night

How could I not know you were only pretending
How could I not realize
How could I not know you knew you were leaving
Where did the truth lie in your eyes

Where did the truth lie in your eyes
In the dead of the night
