G                              C
I can't light no more of your darkness.
F                                           G
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white.
                       G7                  C
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
F                                G
frozen here on the ladder of my life.

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meanin' when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Chorus:
C                    C/A#
Don't let the sun go down on me.
Am7                                   F#dim
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.
C/G                               F/G     G7       C  C/A#
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free,
    F/A                           Dm  C/E F C/G  F/G C
but losing everything is like the sun going down on me.

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

Chorus - x2
