[Verse 1]                                       
[G] I can't light [C/G]  [G] no more of your [F] darkness [C]  
[F/C]  [C]  [C/E]                                            
[F] All my pictures  [Bb/F] [F] seem to fade to black and [G] white   
[C/G]   [G]   [C/G]    [G]                                      
[G] I'm growing tired [C/G] [G] and time stands still [F] before [C] me  
[F/C]  [C]  [C/E]                                 
[F] Frozen here [Bb/F] [F] on the ladder of my [G] life 
[C/G]   [G]   [C/G]    [G]  
                                 
[G] Too late [C/G] [G] to save myself from  [F] falli [C] ng  
[F/C] [C] [C/E]    
[F] I took a chance [Bb/F] [F] and changed your way of  [G] life  
[C/G]   [G]   [C/G]    [G]                             
[G] But you misread [C/G] [G] my meaning when I  [F] met y [C] ou  
[F/C]  [C]  [C/E]                                   
[F] Closed the door [Bb/F] [F] and left me  [C/G] blinded by the  [G] light

[Chorus]              
[C] Don't let the sun go  [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always [D7/F#] someone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your  [F/G] life [G]  
to wander [C] free [C/Bb]                                         
But  [F/A] losing everything is like the  [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing   [C/G] down  [G] on  [C] me

|[C]        |[C/Bb]      |[F/A]    [C/G]     |[F]        |                                          

[Verse 2]                                                
[G] I can't find [C/G] , [G7] oh the right rom 
[F] antic li [C] ne 
[F/C] [C] [C/E]    
[F] But see me once [Bb/F] [F] and see the way 
I  [G] feel  [G7]   
[G] Don't discard me [C/G] [G] just because you  
[F] think I mean you [C] harm
[F/C] [C] [C/E]    
[F] But these cuts I have [Bb/F] 
[F] they need love [C/G] to help them heal [G]

[Chorus]                                                 
[C] Don't let the sun go  [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always [D7/F#] someone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your  [F/G] life [G]  
to wander [C] free [C/Bb]                                         
But  [F/A] losing everything is like the  [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing   [C/G] down  [G] on  [C] me
|C        |C/Bb      |F/A          |Ab6    Bb      |                                                    

[C] Don't let the sun go  [C/Bb-6x555x] down on me
[F/A] Although I search myself, it's always s [D7/F#] omeone else I see
[C/G] I'd just allow a fragment of your  [F/G] life  [G]    to wander  [C] free     
[C/Bb]                                              
But  [F/A] losing everything is like the  [Dm] sun (fast chords)
[C/E] go--- [F] ing   [C/G] down  [G] on  [C] me

[A] And did you think this fool could [D/A] never win?
Well [E/A] look at me, I'm coming [A] back again.
I got a [Bm7/A] taste of love in a [D/A] simple [E] way.
And if you [F#m] need to know while I'm still

[A] Once I never could hope to [D/A] win.
You [E/A] starting down the road leaving [A] me again.
The [Bm7/A] threats you made were meant to 
[D/A] cut me [E] down.
And if our [F#m] love was just a 
[D] circus you'd be a [A] clown [Bm7/A] by now [A]
 
[Chorus] 
Don't you know [Am7] I'm still [Am] 
standing better than I [Em/G] ever did.
Looking like a [Dm7] true survivor, 
feeling like a [Fmaj7] little kid. [G] 
[Am7] I'm still [Am] standing after 
[Em/G] all this time.
Picking up the [Dm7] pieces of my life 
without you [E7] on my mind.
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
