Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me – Lyrics with Chords
Verse
G F C – Cadd4 – C
I can’t light, no more of your darkness
F G G7
All my pictures, seem to fade to black and white
G F C – Cadd4 – C
I’m growing tired, and time stands still before me
F G G7
Frozen here, on the ladder of my life
G F C – Cadd4 – C
It’s too late, to save myself from falling
F G G7
I took a chance and changed your way of life
G F C – Cadd4 – C
But you misread, my meaning when I met you
F C G G7
Closed the door, and left me blind by the light Ohhh
Chorus
C Cadd4
Don’t let the sun go down on me
Am D
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
C F G C G7
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free yea
F F Dm G C
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Verse
G F C – Cadd4 – C
I can’t find, oh, the right romantic line
F G G7
But see me once, and see the way I feel
G F C – Cadd4 – C
Don’t discard me, just because you think I mean you harm
F C G G7
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help them heal Oh
Chorus (x2)
C Cadd4
Don’t let the sun go down on me
Am D
Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see
C F G C G7
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free yea
F F Dm G C
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
