G5                      C5                      G5       
I just saw the sun go down behind the purple sky
                     D5               G5
Watched the daylight slowly fade and die
                                          C5                 G5
Saw two lovers close their door and turn out their bedroom light
                 D5             G5
Wishing you were here with me tonight
                                        F5   C5
Picked up a book and tried my best to read it
    G5            C5           D5                       G5
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

G5               C5                 G5    B5  C5          G5
On the nights I need you so, what do I do, where do I go?
                          F5  C5
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
