Am                                C
Like shining oil, this night is dripping down
            Dm                  Am
Stars are slipping down, glistening
                                      C
And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now
      Dm                                 F
No deceiving now, It's time you let me know
         G
Let me know

Chorus:
         Am
When the lights go out and we open our eyes,
 C                                 G
out there in the silence, I'll be gone.
         Dm E
I'll be gone
        Am
Let the sun fade out and another one rise,
  C                                 G
climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone.
         Dm E
I'll be gone.

This air between us is getting thinner now
Into winter now, bittersweet
And 'cross that horizon, this sun is setting down
You're forgetting now, it's time you let me go
Let me go

Chorus

     F        Dm             Am
And tell the lie I couldn't tell myself
     F        Dm     Am
And tell them I was alone.
    F        Dm       Am G F
Oh tell them I am the only one
            Dm                E
And there's nothing left to stop me.

Chorus
