[Intro] E A B B9 (x3) Aadd9 Emaj7/G# F#m7 Am9 [Verse 1]
         E                       G#m7
When the day is done and there's nowhere to run

        A                           A/B      B
And the people of the city have all lost and won

        E              G#m7
In your city dress you stand you stare

        A                           A/B          B
And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair

         Aadd9       Emaj7/G#
And the light that shines

F#m7              B
Paints a trace of sadness

       Aadd9      Emaj7/G#
On the street I wait

    F#m7             B        Aadd9
But I can't seem to get to you
[Verse 2]
        E                        G#m7
Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier

          A                         A/B        B
'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait

       E                     G#m7
So you move along where it's going on

        A                              A/B           B
And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn

          Aadd9  Emaj7/G#
And the sun that shines

F#m7              B
Paints a trace of sadness

        Aadd9       Emaj7/G#
In your eyes that cry

F#m7         B
Wishing and hoping

   Aadd9
Oh Oh
[Chorus]
E                    A
Sweet sweet is the night

    B    B9
Now you are near

E                     A
Dark dark were the days

     B  B9  
They disappear

E                    A
Sweet sweet is the night

    B       Aadd9  Emaj7/G#  F#m7  Am9
Now you are near
[Verse 3]
         E                      G#m7
Well you did your thing and you lost your wings

        A                    A/B       B
And you hurt so bad you lost everything

        E                      G#m7
And the tears that fall on the city wall

     A                  A/B       B
Will fade away with the rays of morning

Aadd9     Emaj7/G#
Light that shines

F#m7               B                Aadd9   E
Paints a smile across your pretty face I know

F#m7          B
Everything is alright

     Aadd9
Yeah alright
[Chorus]
E                    A
Sweet sweet is the night

    B    B9
Now you are near

E                     A
Dark dark were the days

     B  B9  
They disappear

E                    A
Sweet sweet is the night

    B       Aadd9  Emaj7/G#  F#m7  Am9
Now you are near
[Outro]

Sweet sweet is the night

    B    B9
Now you are near

E                     A
Dark dark were the days

     B  B9
They disappear

E                    A
Sweet sweet is the night

    B    B9   C  C/B  A
Now you are near

Now you are near
