[Verse 1]   
G              C/G  G                     F      C   F/C  C  C/E  
  I can't light        no more of your    darkness
F                Bb/F   F                          G       C/G   G   C/G    G
 All my pi ctures         seem to fade to black and white
G                  C/G  G                         F      C   F/C  C  C/E 
  I'm growing tired         and time stands still before me
F             Bb/F   F                       G    C/G   G   C/G    G  
  Froz en here           on the ladder of my life
G          C/G  G                      F    C   F/C  C  C/E   
  Too late         to save myself from falling
F                Bb/F  F                           G     C/G   G   C/G    G
  I took a chance          and changed your way of life
G               C/G  G                    F   C   F/C  C  C/E
But you misread         my meaning when I met you
F                 Bb/F  F             C/G            G      G7
  Closed the door         and left me blinded by the light  ahh ahh


[Chorus]
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
    F/A                           Dm  C/E  F    C/G  G  
But losing everything is like the sun go---ing  down on 

|C        |C/Bb      |F/A    C/G     |F        |
me


[Verse 2]
G               C/G  G7                  F        C   F/C  C  C/E  
  I can't find,        oh the right romantic line
F                 Bb/F  F                   G     C/G   G7
  But see me once         and see the way I feel
G                  C/G  G                   F                C   F/C  C  C/E
  Don't discard me         just because you think I mean you harm
F                      Bb/F  F          C/G               G
  But these cuts I have       they need love to help them heal


[Chorus]
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
    F/A                           Dm  C/E  F    C/G  G  
But losing everything is like the sun go---ing  down on 

|C        |C/Bb      |F/A          |Ab6    Bb      |
me


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
    F/A                           Dm  C/E  F    C/G  G 
But losing everything is like the sun go---ing  down on 

|C        |C/Bb      |F/A          |Ab6    Bb      |C  
 me
