[Intro]

E A B B9 (x3)

A Emaj7 F#m7 Am9

[Verse 1]

E Abm7
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
A B
And the people of the city have all lost and won
E Abm7
In your city dress you stand you stare
A B
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
A Emaj7
And the light that shines
F#m7 B
Paints a trace of sadness
A Emaj7
On the street I wait
F#m7 B A
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
A Emaj7
And the sun that shines
F#m7 B
Paints a trace of sadness
A Emaj7
In your eyes that cry
F#m7 B
Wishing and hoping
A
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 A9 Emaj7 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
A 9 Emaj7
Light that shines
F#m7 B A9 E
Paints a smile across your pretty face I know
F#m7 B
Everything is alright
A9
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 A9 Emaj7 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 A
Now you are near
A F#m F#m E
Now you are near
C E
