1. I can't light no more of your darkness,
G F
all my pictures seem to fade to black and white.
F C
I'm growing tired, and time stands still before me,
G
frozen here on the ladder of my life.
F C
2. It's much too late to save myself from falling,
G
I took a chance and changed your way of life.
F C
But you misread my meaning when I met you,
G C G
closed the door and left me blinded by the light.
C Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me,
Am D7
although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.
C F G C C7
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, oh -
F Dm C F G C
but losing everything is like the sun going down on me.
Bb- F- C- F- D G F- G F C
3. I can't find, oh, the right romantic line,
G F
but see me once and see the way I feel.
F C
Don't discard me, just because you think I mean you harm.
G C G
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help me heal, oh!
