[Intro] C  C/Bb  F/A  C/G  F/A  G

            C/G G7                F/C  C   F/C  C
I can't light     no more of your darkness  
F             Bb/F F                      G    C/G  G C/G
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
G               C/G G7                        F/C    C   C7/E
I'm growing tired      and time stands still before me   
F           Bb/F  F                   G   C/G  G7
Frozen here       on the ladder of my life     

G            C/G G7                   F/C  C   F/C  C
It's too late     To save myself from falling 
F             Bb/F F                     G       C/G  G C/G
I took a chance and changed your way of life
G            C/G G7               F/C    C   C7/E
But you misread my meaning when I met you 
F             Bb/F F           C/G                 G       F
Closed the door    and left me blinded by the light 

C                    C/Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me
Am7                                    D7/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G                                   F/G  G7         C    C/Bb
I'd just allow a fragment of your life      to wander free 
      F/A                         Dm  C/E    F     C/G     F/G   C
But losing everything is like the sun  go-----ing down  on   me  

( C  C/Bb  F/A  C/G  F  Dm )

G          C/G G7                  F/C  C   F/C  C
I can't find oh the right romantic line
F             Bb/F F               G    C/G  G C/G
But see me once and see the way I feel
G            C/G G7                         F/C    C   C7/E
Don't discard me (baby no) just because you think I mean you harm
F            Bb/F F                 C/G                G       F
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help me heal Oh

C                    C/Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me
Am7                                  D7/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G                                F/G  G7             C     C/Bb
I'd just allow a fragment of your life      to wander free 
      F/A                          Dm  C/E    F     C/G  F/G  C
But losing everything is like the sun  go-----ing down  on   me  

( C  C/Bb  F/A  G#  A#  C )

C                    C/Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me
Am7                                   D7/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G                               F/G  G7              C    C/Bb
I'd just allow a fragment of your life      to wander free 
      F/A                         Dm  C/E    F     C/G   F/G  C
But losing everything is like the sun  go-----ing down  on   me
