[Intro]
E A B B9 (x3)
Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab F#m7 Am9
[Verse 1]
E Abm7
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
A A/B B
And the people of the city have all lost and won
E Abm7
In your city dress you stand you stare
A A/B B
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab
And the light that shines
F#m7 B
Paints a trace of sadness
Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab
On the street I wait
F#m7 B Aadd9
But I can't seem to get to you
[Verse 2]
E Abm7
Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier
A A/B B
'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
E Abm7
So you move along where it's going on
A A/B B
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn
Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab
And the sun that shines
F#m7 B
Paints a trace of sadness
Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab
In your eyes that cry
F#m7 B
Wishing and hoping
Aadd9
Oh Oh
[Chorus]
E A
Sweet sweet is the night
B B9
Now you are near
E A
Dark dark were the days
B B9
They disappear
E A
Sweet sweet is the night
B Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab F#m7 Am9
Now you are near
[Verse 3]
E Abm7
Well you did your thing and you lost your wings
A A/B B
And you hurt so bad you lost everything
E Abm7
And the tears that fall on the city wall
A A/B B
Will fade away with the rays of morning
Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab
Light that shines
F#m7 B Aadd9 E
Paints a smile across your pretty face I know
F#m7 B
Everything is alright
Aadd9
Yeah alright
[Chorus]
E A
Sweet sweet is the night
B B9
Now you are near
E A
Dark dark were the days
B B9
They disappear
E A
Sweet sweet is the night
B Aadd9 Emaj7/Ab F#m7 Am9
Now you are near
[Outro]
E A
Sweet sweet is the night
B B9
Now you are near
E A
Dark dark were the days
B B9
They disappear
E A
Sweet sweet is the night
B B9 C C/B A
Now you are near
A/G F#m F#m/B E
Now you are near
C E
