[Verse 1]
       Bm              D     Bm           D
        In the dark of night, those small hours,

          Em                  F#         Bm
        Uncertain and anxious, I need to call you
[Repeat Intro once] [Verse 2]
       Bm              D         Bm            D
        Room's full of strangers, some call me friend

              Em               F#       Bm
        But I wish you were so close to me

                       D     Bm           D
        In the dark of night, those small hours

          Em              F#       Bm
        I drift away when I'm with you

        I wish you were, I wish you were
[Verse 3]
       Bm              D     Bm             D
        Here comes the clown, his face is a wall

           Em         F#     Bm
        No window, no air at all

                       D     Bm                D
        In the dark of night, these faces they haunt me

              Em               F#       Bm
        But I wish you were so close to me

        In the dark of night, (by my side)

                             D       G
        In the dark of night, (by my side)

       Bm               G               A
        I wish you were, I wish you were
[Chorus]
                             D       G
        In the dark of night, (by my side)

                             D       G
        In the dark of night, (by my side)
