     D/F#      Em7            G/D C
When lights go down, I see no reason
    G/B  Am7  G/B                    C     D
for you to cry. We've been through this before
         Em7            G/D C
in every time, in every season,
    G/B         Am7  G/B
God knows I've tried
                C        D
So please don't ask for more

           C            D
Can't you see it in my eyes
       C                Am7      D  C D
That this might be our last goodbye

Chorus:
G D/F# Em7  D  C  D Em              D
Car - rie, Carrie,    things they change, my friend
G D/F# Em7  D  C  D Em             D    Am7
Car - rie, Carrie,    maybe we'll meet again,
 G/B  C   D G
somewhere again

I read your mind
With no intentions
Of being unkind
I wish I could explain
It all takes time
A whole lot of patience
If it's a crime
How come I feel no pain?

Can't you see it in my eyes?
That this might be our last goodbye (Oh, oh, oh)

Chorus:
Carrie, Carrie
Oh, things they change, my friend, whoa
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again

Oh, can't you see it in my eyes?
That this might be our last goodbye, oh
(Oh, oh, oh)

Chorus:
Carrie, Carrie
Oh, things they change
Carrie, Carrie, Carrie
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet again
Oh, somewhere again

When lights go down
