When The Lights Go Down

Matt Simons


Tom: Am

       Am          G         F            C
When I wake in the night I'm reaching for you
          Am          G                   F            C
There's a place in my dreams where you're still in the room
           F       G     Am
And you're next to me somehow

          Am           G          F              C
There are times when I sleep on your side of the bed
          Am          G            F          C
Now since you've been away it's as close as I get
         F           G          Am
Oh well, I should've learned by now


[Pre-chorus]
F
Morning light
F                             G
Every now and then I start to feel alright
               Am              F
Days are going by, I know I'll heal in time
      Am             C             G
Never thought I'd be scared of the dark


[Chorus]
                            F
Now I only feel it when the lights go down
                 Am
Feel it when the lights go down
G                               F
 Only get that feeling when the night rolls round
                 Am              G
Feel it when the night rolls around


[Verse 2]
          Am          G              F         C
There are times I get drunk when I'm all by myself
         Am          G               F         C
Cause it helps me forget you're with somebody else
         F            G        Am
Well, it don't really work that well

        Am    G       F               C
And the other night I walked by your place
Am        G             F              C
Hoping by chance that I might see your face
       F         G     Am
Oh now why did I think that would help


[Pre-chorus]
F
Morning light
F                             G
Every now and then I start to feel alright
               Am              F
Days are going by, I know I'll heal in time
      Am             C             G
Never thought I'd be scared of the dark


[Chorus]
G                             F
  Now I only feel it when the lights go down
                 Am
Feel it when the lights go down
G                               F
 Only get that feeling when the night rolls round
                  Am             G
Feel it when the night rolls around

                            F
Now I only feel it when the lights go down
                 Am
Feel it when the lights go down
G                               F
 Only get that feeling when the night rolls round
                  Am             G
Feel it when the night rolls around


[Bridge]
F
I'll pray for light
                            G
Four in the morning I don't feel alright
                   Am             F
Nights are growing long, I hope I heal in time
      Am             C             G
Never thought I'd be scared of the dark


[Chorus]
G                             F
  Now I only feel it when the lights go down
                 Am
Feel it when the lights go down
G                               F
 Only get that feeling when the night rolls round
                  Am             G
Feel it when the night rolls around

G                          F
Oh I only feel it when the lights go down
                 Am
Feel it when the lights go down
G                               F
 Only get that feeling when the night rolls round
                  Am             G
Feel it when the night rolls around

G                             F
  Now I only feel it when the lights go down
                 Am
Feel it when the lights go down
G                               F
 Only get that feeling when the night rolls round
                  Am             G
Feel it when the night rolls around


[Outro]
       Am          G           F
When I wake in the night I'm reaching for you
