Verse:

G                        C/G            G
Born to die, born to die Darling you'll live
                    D/F#
No longer than your years
   C/G        G         D/F#        G
If Heaven and Earth are both on the market,
     C/G          Dsus       G
Then hell will be nothing to fear.


Chorus:
   C/G                     G
So where oh where have the lights gone lately
       Em  G               D/F#
As the sun returns for the day
           C/G         Em            G       C/G
Or has the light found good in these eyes of mine
       C/G            Dsus       G
Please stay until the last light fades.

G                           C/G         G
Father oh my father I'll be standing in line
                        D/F#
To face what faults are mine
     C/G           Bm              Am         G
It's not these old bones that I'll miss in my dying
         C/G      Dsus    G
It's the girl I'm leaving behind.

Chorus:

   C/G                     G
So where oh where have the lights gone love
       Em  G               D/F#
As the sun returns for the day
           C/G         Em            G       C/G
Or has the light found good in these eyes of mine
       C/G            Dsus       G
Please stay until the last light fades.
