Bm C This whole city’s black and white Em Tell me what is your color. Am G6 Dsus2/F# 'Cause it'd be the same as mine. Faded greens and blue street lights There's a red fire burning From the sea up to the sky Chorus: C 'Cause I don’t want to wait until tomorrow Em Tell you how I'll feel the rest of my life C You don’t want to waste another minute when G D you realize C Walking on the dark side of the evening Em Maybe it was you that opened my eyes C Burning like a fire on the water Am G Dsus2/F# In the city of black and white. Am C G Dsus2/F# Won’t you just stay? Am C G Dsus2/F# Won’t you just stay? I'm on the top still looking down If you coming up to me Is where the whole world wants to be found Golden rings and coffee brown There's a white flag waving Where my heart is on the ground Chorus: I don't want to wait until tomorrow Tell you how I feel the rest of my life You don't want a waste another minute when you realize Walking on the dark side of the evening Baby, it was you that opened my eyes Burning like a fire on the water In the city of black and white Won't you just stay? Won't you just stay? C Won’t you just stay now, Where the light goes D Under a dark street, No one else knows Am Take my hand Dsus2/F# I'll carry you, you can carry me. Chorus: I don't want to wait until tomorrow Tell you how I feel the rest of my life You don't want a waste another minute when you realize Walking on the dark side of the evening Baby, it was you that opened my eyes Burning like a fire on the water In the city of black and white Won't you just stay? Mm, won't you just stay? Won't you just stay now? When the light glows under a dark street No one else knows Take my hand I'll carry you, you can carry me Won't you just stay?
