Intro: ( C F G ) 
 
 C      F   G          C           F 
One day,  I gotta get out of here, 
  G          C                F   G         C     F  G 
I gotta make everything clear,  I gotta see you. 
  C    F    G          C                 F 
I know,  The way that I feel is wrong, so wrong. 
      G     Am       G F      G          C     F  G 
But I gotta carry on,    When you ain't around. 
 

  C                  Am 
I believe things are going wrong, 
        Dm                 G 
And the nights goes on and on, 
         C                  Am 
All your dreams have flown away, 
        Dm                G     C 
And the sun won't shine today. 
 

              F                G     C 
The lights go down (I want you baby) 
              F                G     C 
The lights go down (I need you baby) 
              F 
The lights go down 
            Am       Dm   G     
And there's no one around.   
C F G 
 
    C  F  G             C           F 
I know,  you're waiting so close to me, 
  G          C                F   G         C     F  G 
But how will you ever see, as time rolls away. 
  C    F    G          C               F 
Lonely,  but trying to be so proud, 
      G     Am       G F      G          C     F  G 
And just as I turn around, the lights go down. 
 

  C                  Am 
I believe things are going wrong, 
        Dm               G 
And the nights go on and on, 
         C                  Am 
All your dreams have flown away, 
        Dm                G     C 
And the sun won't shine today.
