[Verse]
C G/B Am7 G
I had to let you know, I’m doing fine
C G/B Am7 G
Maybe I’m getting hard, or it could be the red wine
C G/B Am7 G
I thought that what we had, would run to eternity…
C G/B Am7 G
L - O - V - E
[Chorus]
C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am G
I would never go to the dark side of town without you
[Verse]
C G/B Am7 G
I remember when I met you, how slow I was to act
C G/B Am7 G
But I hadn’t used my heart before -that’s a fact
C G/B Am7 G
Puppet shows and olive trees, love in foreign rooms
C G/B Am7 G
These relics of affection, in a simple tune
[Chorus]
C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am G
I would never go to the dark side of town without you
[Bridge]
Am
The river is wide, the river is long
F
The dredges do their work, they carry me along
Am
Come on time -do your magic trick
F
Take this all away from me, make it quick
[Female singer]
C G/B Am7 G
Ahh, don’t go away
C G/B Am7 G
I don’t mean those things I say…
C G/B Am7 G
Frustration takes over me
C G/B Am7 G
and I say things…
[Verse]
C G/B Am7 G
You picked me up, you spun me ‘round, you made me something better
C G/B Am7 G
Overnight my fortune’s changed, now I read old letters
C G/B Am7 G
If I could see it from your side, things might be clear
C G/B Am7 G
Only you know what you promised, I won’t reveal this here
C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am G
I’m walking on the streets oF the dark side of town without you…
C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am G
I’m livin’ in a house, on the dark side of town without you…
C G/B Am7 G C G/B Am G
I’m lyin’ in a bed on the dark side of town without you
C G/B Am7 G
Ahh, don’t go away
C G/B Am7 G
I don’t mean those things I say…
C G/B Am7 G
Frustration takes over me
C G/B Am7 G
and I say things…
