G                      C                      G       
I just saw the sun go down behind the purple sky
                     D               G
Watched the daylight slowly fade and die
                                          C                 G
Saw two lovers close their door and turn out their bedroom light
                 D             G
Wishing you were here with me tonight
                                        F   C
Picked up a book and tried my best to read it
    G            C           D                       G
But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it

Lying here I feel so lost in this big king size bed
Reached down and grabbed my fingers 'cross the satin spread
Thought of how it felt to lay my head upon your chest
Lord I never felt such loneliness
In nights like this I feel I am being cheated
But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it

G               C                 G    Bm  C          G
On the nights I need you so, what do I do, where do I go?
                          F  C
I (?) to make me feel completed

But love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
No, love doesn't always come on the nights you need it
