[Intro]

E   A   B   B9   (x3)

Aadd9   Emaj7/G#   F#m7   Am9

[Verse 1]

                E                                       G#m7
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run
              A                                        A/B         B
And the people of the city have all lost and won
            E                        G#m7
In your city dress you stand you stare
                A                                             A/B           B
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair
             Aadd9          Emaj7/G#
And the light that shines
F#m7                      B
Paints a trace of sadness
           Aadd9     Emaj7/G#
On the street I wait
      F#m7                  B            Aadd9
But I can't seem to get to you

[Verse 2]

              E                                         G#m7
Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier
              A                                    A/B         B
'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
           E                                     G#m7
So you move along where it's going on
              A                                             A/B             B
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn
             Aadd9         Emaj7/G#
And the sun that shines
F#m7                        B
Paints a trace of sadness
            Aadd9        Emaj7/G#
In your eyes that cry
F#m7                B
Wishing and hoping
       Aadd9
Oh Oh

[Chorus]

E                               A
Sweet sweet is the night
        B       B9
Now you are near
E                                 A
Dark dark were the days
            B     B9
They disappear
E                              A
Sweet sweet is the night
        B              Aadd9   Emaj7/G#   F#m7   Am9
Now you are near

[Verse 3]

              E                                     G#m7
Well you did your thing and you lost your wings
               A                                 A/B     B
And you hurt so bad you lost everything
              E                                 G#m7
And the tears that fall on the city wall
         A                             A/B         B
Will fade away with the rays of morning
Aadd9          Emaj7/G#
Light that shines
F#m7               B                             Aadd9    E
Paints a smile across your pretty face I know
F#m7               B
Everything is alright
           Aadd9
Yeah alright

[Chorus]

E                               A
Sweet sweet is the night
         B       B9
Now you are near
E                                 A
Dark dark were the days
           B      B9
They disappear
E                              A
Sweet sweet is the night
         B             Aadd9   Emaj7/G#   F#m7   Am9
Now you are near

Now you are near
E                                A
Dark dark were the days
          B       B9
They disappear
E                              A
Sweet sweet is the night
        B              B9   C   C/B   A
Now you are near

Now you are near
