[Intro]
/  /   |   A   F#m   |   D   E  |  A  D  |  A    |


[Verse]
D                        C#m
   It makes no diff'rence where I turn
F#m            E                Bm7
   I can't get over you and the flame still burns
D                         C#m
   It makes no diff'rence night or day
F#m           E              D          E
   The shadow never seems to fade away


[Chorus]
                   A   F#m       D     E    A    D   A
           And the sun     don't shine   anymore
                   A     F#m      D    E       A  D  A
           And the rains     fall down   on my door

                   A
                   Now there's no love
                   Em7
                   As true as the love
                   D                B7
                   That dies untold
                           A      F#m               D   E   A    D    A
                   And the clouds     never hung so low   before


[Verse]
D                        C#m
   It makes no diff'rence how far I go
   F#m         E               Bm7
   Like a scar   the hurt will always show
D                         C#m
   It makes no diff'rence who I meet
F#m               E
   They're just a face in the crowd
        D                E
   On a dead-end street


[Chorus]
                   A   F#m       D     E    A    D   A
           And the sun     don't shine   anymore
                   A     F#m      D    E       A  D  A
           And the rains     fall down   on my door

                   A
                   These old love letters
                   Em7
                   Well, I just can't keep
                   D
                   'Cause like the gambler says
                   B7
                   Read 'em and weep
                           A    F#m              D  E    A     D    A
                   And the dawn     don't rescue me   no more


[Bridge]
E                    C#m
   Without your love     I'm nothing at all
D                            Bm
   Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall
E                    C#m
   Since you've gone     it's a losing battle
D                          Bm                E
   Stampeding cattle, they rattle the walls


[Chorus]
                   A   F#m       D     E    A    D   A
           And the sun     don't shine   anymore
                   A     F#m      D    E       A  D  A
           And the rains     fall down   on my door

                   A
                   Well, I love you so much
                   Em7
                   It's all I can do
                   D                        B7
                   Just to keep myself from telling you
                          A     F#m        D    E   A     D    A
                   That I never   felt so alone   before
