(A work in progress) Love this song.

          F
You live by night
            Am
And waste the day
     F
You give yourself
                   Am
You give yourself away

   Bb
I know that when you started
     C
You liked the way you felt
    Bb
And yes I understand you
        C
But to everybody else...

               Dm
It's black and white
            C
To you it's grey
              Bb          Gm
You know I'll love you anyway
        F       Dm        Am     C       Gm7
But it seems to me you're living on the run
      Bb       Gm          Bb
But I hope you know you're not the only one

            F
Who lives by night
        Dm
Lives by night
        Bb   Gm7       C     
They're only trying to chase away the sun

             F
And when you play
            Am
The way you do
    F
The sun don't shine
         Am
The same way for you
        Bb
And you say you don't abuse it
    C
But baby I can tell
   Bb
We both know what the truth is
        C
But to everybody else...

It's black and white
It's night and day
You know I'll love you anyway

But it seems to me you're living on the run
And now you know you're not the only one...

Who lives by night
Lives by night
We're only trying to chase away the sun

We, we were so intimate
You, you were so into it
But they, they pulled you in

And now that they're gone
We're only trying to work out what went wrong

You live by night
Live by night
But you're only trying to chase away the sun
