TITLE: Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me
Lyrics and Chords


I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

/ G - G7 - F C F C / F - - - G GC G GC /
   / G GC G7 - F C F C / F - - - G GC G7 - /

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

/ G7 G7C G7 - F C F C / F FBb F - G GC G - /
   / G7 - - - F C - - / F - - - C - G G7 / 

{Refrain}
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself its always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

/ C - C/Bb - / Am7 - D7 - / C - F G7 C - C/Bb - / 
   / F - Dm FG C - - - /

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal

/ G - G7 - C - - - / F - - - G7 G7C G7 G7C /
   / G7 G7C G7 - C - - - / F - - - C - G G7 /

{Refrain twice}
