INTRO X 2
VERSE 1
D64 D7Msus2
Even in the quietest moments,
D5 G5
I wish I knew,
D5 G5 G5
what I had to do.
D64 D7Msus2
And even though the sun is shining,
D5 G5
well, I feel the rain,
D5 G5
hear it comes again,
G5
dear.
\* A5 D5
And even when you showed me,
A5 D5
my heart was out of tune,
D5
for there's a shadow of doubt
A5 C5 D5
that's not letting me find you to soon.
A5 D5
The music that you gave me,
A5 D5
the language of my soul,
D5
Lord I wanna be with you, won't you
A5 C5 D5 C5 D5
let me come in from the cold?
CHORUS 1
C5 D5
Don't you let the sun fade away,
C5 D5
don't you let the sun fade away,
C5 D5
don't you let the sun be leaving,
C5 D5 */
won't you come to me soon?
VERSE 2
D64 D7Msus2
Even though the stars are listening,
D5 G5
and the oceans deep,
D5 G5 G5
I just go to sleep.
D64 D7Msus2
And then I create the silent movie,
D5 G5
you become the star,
D5 G5
is that what you are,
G5
dear?
\* A5 D5
Your whisper tells a secret,
A5 D5
your laughter brings me joy,
D5
and a wonder of feeling I'm
A5 C5 D5
nature's own little boy.
A5 D5
But still the tears keep falling,
A5 D5
they're raining from the sky.
D5
Well there's a lot of me got go
A5 C5 D5 C5 D5
under before I get high.
CHORUS 2
C5 D5
Don't you let the sun disappear,
C5 D5
don't you let the sun disappear,
C5 D5
don't you let the sun be leaving,
C5 D5
no, you come to me soon.
BRIDGE
C5 D5
And can't be leaving my life.
C5 D5
Say that you won't be leaving my life.
C5 D5
Say won't you please, say won't you please.
C5 D5
Lord won't you come and get into my life?
C5 D5
Say won't you please, say won't you please,
C5 D5 */
oh, Lord don't go...
VERSE 3
D64 D7Msus2
And even when the song is over,
D5 G5
where have I been,
D5 G5 G5
was it just a dream?
D64 D7Msus2
And though your door is always open,
D5 G5
where do I begin,
D5 G5
may I please come in,
G5
dear.
