						A   Bm  Amaj7  Bm (like intro)
	And I'm standing on my knees
(chorus)
  A	E		      Bm

Then I'm sorry to let you down

But you're from 

 Bm
My side of town

But, baby

Since I have changed
Bm Amaj7 D (tap guitar top 2x w/finger) D (repeat taps) I can't take nothing home
	   A     Bm        Amaj7   Bm
	City lights at a country fair

	You're just too dark to care
