-7  -7 -6   -7  -7  -7   7  -8   7 -6  6  5
 I can't- light no more of your da-rk-ness-
 
-6  -6 -6    -6 6 5  -6  -6  -6  -6  -7    7   -7
All my pic-tures- - seem to fade to black and white

 -7  -7   -7  -7    6   -7   -7      7   -8  7   5
I'm grow-ing tired and time stands still be-fore me

 -6  -6  -6  -6  -6  -6 -6  -7  7  -7
Froz-en here on the lad-der of my life

-7   -7   6   8   9   8   -8   7 -6 6  5  
Too late to save my-self from fall- - ing

-6  -6 -6   -6   -6    -9     -9   8  -8  -8
 I took a chance and changed your way of life
 
-7  -7   7   -8   6   8   9    8 -8  7   6
But you mis-read my mean-ing when I met you

  -6    7   -9  -6   -7   7   8    8  8 -9    8 -8 7 -7 
Closed the door and left me blind-ed by the light- -  -

chorus-

  8    8   8  -9 8 -8 7   -9   8  8 -8 7
Don't let the sun-  - go down on me  - -

-6   7   -8    8   -8   7    -6   7  -8    8  -8   -8  7 -8 7
Al-though I search my-self, it's al-ways some-one else I see-

 6    7   6  7  6  -9   8    8   8   -8 7  6  7   6    8
I'd just al-low a frag-ment of your life- to wan-der free

 7   -9  -9 -9   9   8   -6   7  -6  -9   8 -9    8  -8  7
But los-ing ev-'ry-thing is like the sun go-ing down on me

-7   -7   -7   8  9    9    8  -8  7    7 -6 6
 I can't find oh the right ro-man-tic line - -
 
-6  -6   7  -9   -9 -9   9   8 -9  -8
But see me once and see the way I feel

 -7    -7  -7  -7   8  9    9  -10    8  -8  -8   7    7 -6 6
Don't dis-card me just be-cause you think I mean you harm - -

 -6   7    -9  9  8   -6  -7    7    8   8 -10    9   8 -8
But these cuts I have oh they need love to help them heal-

chorus-

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
