INTRO X 2

VERSE 1

D64          D7Msus2
Even in the quietest moments,
D7       G/D
I wish I knew,
D7            G/D        Gm/D
what I had to do.

D64              D7Msus2    
And even though the sun is shining,
D7               G/D
well, I feel the rain,
D7            G/D
hear it comes again,
   Gm/D   
dear.


\*  Am                  D9
And even when you showed me,
   Am                   D9
my heart was out of tune,
              Dm                         
for there's a shadow of doubt 
Am                     C9                  D
that's not letting me find you to soon.

    Am                D9
The music that you gave me,
    Am                D9
the language of my soul,
        Dm                         
Lord I wanna be with you, won't you 
Am                       C9                D    C9    D
let me come in from the cold?



CHORUS 1

C9                   D
      Don't you let the sun fade away,
C9                   D
      don't you let the sun fade away,
C9                     D
      don't you let the sun be leaving,
          C9      D      */
won't you come to me soon?


VERSE 2

D64          D7Msus2
Even though the stars are listening,
D7             G/D
and the oceans deep,
D7           G/D     Gm/D
I just go to sleep.

D64        D7Msus2
And then I create the silent movie,
D7             G/D
you become the star,
D7               G/D
is that what you are,
   Gm/D
dear?

\*   Am               D9
Your whisper tells a secret,
     Am                   D9
your laughter brings me joy,
      Dm                    
and a wonder of feeling I'm 
Am                  C9                 D
nature's own little boy.

    Am                      D9
But still the tears keep falling,
        Am                  D9
they're raining from the sky.
               Dm
Well there's a lot of me got go 
Am                 C9                  D    C9   D
under before I get high.


CHORUS 2

C9                   D
      Don't you let the sun disappear,
C9                   D
      don't you let the sun disappear,
C9                   D
      don't you let the sun be leaving,
        C9        D
no, you come to me soon.


BRIDGE

     C9                D
And can't be leaving my life.
             C9                 D
Say that you won't be leaving my life.
              C9                   D
Say won't you please, say won't you please.
               C9                  D
Lord won't you come and get into my life?
              C9                   D
Say won't you please, say won't you please,
               C9               D      */
oh, Lord don't go...


VERSE 3

D64            D7Msus2
And even when the song is over,
D7           G/D
where have I been,
D7            G/D      Gm/D
was it just a dream?

D64             D7Msus2
And though your door is always open,
D7         G/D
where do I begin,
D7                G/D
may I please come in,
  Gm/D
dear.
