C
I never ask you where you go
                          G
After I leave you in the morning
F
We go our different ways
G                  C
To separate situations
Dm        C/E           F
It's not that easy anymore

Today I do what must be done
I give my time to total strangers
But now it feels as though
The day goes on forever
More than it ever did before

Chorus:
C          A#               F
Until the night, until the night,
   G
I just might make it
C          A#               Bm A
Until the night, until the night,
F    G           A#  F C
when I see you again

Now you're afraid that we have changed
And I'm afraid we're getting older
So many broken hearts
So many lonely faces
So many lovers
Come and gone

I'll have my fears like every man
You'll have your tears like every woman
Today we'll be unsure
Is this what we believe in?
And wonder how can we go on?

G                 D#/G                F
When the sun goes down and the day is over,
          C                     G
when the last of the light has gone
                         D#/G
As they pour into the street,
                    F
I will be getting closer
        Dm7/G                      C
As the cars turn their headlights on,
                       Dm
as they're closing it down
                  G9
I'm gonna open it up,
                            F/A
and while they're going to sleep
                 G/B        C
We'll just be starting to touch,
                       Dm
I'm just beginning to feel
                       G
I'm just beginning to give,
                      F/A
I'm just beginning to feel,
          G/B          C
I'm just beginning to live
                     Dm
Before I leave you again,
                         G
before the light of the dawn
                        F/A
Before this evening can end,
        G/B             C
I have been waiting so long

Until the night, until the night
I just might make it
Until the night, until the night
I'll just keep holding on
Until the night, until the night
When I see you again
