not include it, I
included the chords for strumming (rhythm).

[Verse 1]

D6sus4 Dmaj7sus2
Even in the quietest moments,
D7 G/D
I wish I knew,
D7 G/D Gm/D
what I had to do.

D6sus4 Dmaj7sus2
And even though the sun is shining,
D7 G/D
well, I feel the rain,
D7 G/D
hear it comes again,
Gm/D
dear.

* Am D9
And even when you showed me,
Am D9
my heart was out of tune,
Dm
for there's a shadow of doubt
Am Cadd9 D
that's not letting me find you to soon.

Am D9
The music that you gave me,
Am D9
the language of my soul,
Dm
Lord I wanna be with you, won't you
Am Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
let me come in from the cold?

[Chorus 1]

Cadd9 D
Don't you let the sun fade away,
Cadd9 D
don't you let the sun fade away,
Cadd9 D
don't you let the sun be leaving,
Cadd9 D */
won't you come to me soon?

[Verse 2]

D6sus4 Dmaj7sus2
Even though the stars are listening,
D7 G/D
and the oceans deep,
D7 G/D Gm/D
I just go to sleep.

D6sus4 Dmaj7sus2
And then I create the silent movie,
D7 G/D
you become the star,
D7 G/D
is that what you are,
Gm/D
dear?

* Am D9
Your whisper tells a secret,
Am D9
your laughter brings me joy,
Dm
and a wonder of feeling I'm
Am Cadd9 D
nature's own little boy.

Am D9
But still the tears keep falling,
Am D9
they're raining from the sky.
Dm
Well there's a lot of me got go
Am Cadd9 D Cadd9 D
under before I get high.

[Chorus 2]

Cadd9 D
Don't you let the sun disappear,
Cadd9 D
don't you let the sun disappear,
Cadd9 D
don't you let the sun be leaving,
Cadd9 D
no, you come to me soon.

[Bridge]

Cadd9 D
And can't be leaving my life.
Cadd9 D
Say that you won't be leaving my life.
Cadd9 D
Say won't you please, say won't you please.
Cadd9 D
Lord won't you come and get into my life?
Cadd9 D
Say won't you please, say won't you please,
Cadd9 D */
oh, Lord don't go...

[Verse 3]

D6sus4 Dmaj7sus2
And even when the song is over,
D7 G/D
where have I been,
D7 G/D Gm/D
was it just a dream?

D6sus4 Dmaj7sus2
And though your door is always open,
D7 G/D
where do I begin,
D7 G/D
may I please come in,
Gm/D
dear.

NOTE: Strum last chord slow; each note should sound out individually, not as a whole.
