[INTRO:] G C G D G C G D G C G D G C G D [VERSE 1:]
G                        C   G
Darkness comes down on city

               D
Another day is done

G                       C
Street lights you up so pretty

        G                        D
You and me can have some kind of fun
[VERSE 2:]
              G                       C 
But there's a light in the basement doorway

       G                      D
How's about you and me stick around

       G                          C
Take a chance you can have it all your way

                      G             Em    D     G
If you tell me you'll stay when the night comes down
[CHORUS:]
                       Em                        G
'Cause the night is an ocean, never reaching the end

                   Em                         G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend

                  Em                     G
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

                     Em   D    C           D           G
What you gotta do is stay with me when the night comes down

Em  D      C  D C
Say you'll be around

Em   D   C     D     G     D
When the night comes down

Em   D     C  D   C
Say, let's go downtown

Em   D    C           D           G
Stay with me when the night comes down
[INTERLUDE:] G C G D G C G D G [VERSE 3:]
                      C              G
See them all coming in from streets

                             D
All their stuff and money to burn

G                                     C 
They all know they're gonna get their business fixed

                   G                   D
They're gonna have fun, got nothing to learn
[VERSE 4:]
G                          C 
Some of them will go home lonely

G                                  D
Some of them will tear each other apart

G                                   C 
Some of them, like me and you, have seen it all

          G              Em   D        G
Just keep dancing to the beat of their heart
[CHORUS:]
                       Em                        G
'Cause the night is an ocean, never reaching the end

                   Em                         G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend

                  Em                     G
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

                     Em   D    C           D           G
What you gotta do is stay with me when the night comes down

Em  D      C  D C
Say you'll be around

Em   D   C     D     G     D
When the night comes down

Em   D     C  D   C
Say, let's go downtown

Em   D    C           D           G
Stay with me when the night comes down
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G Em D C D C Em D C D G D Em D C D C Em D C D G G C G D G C G D [VERSE 5:]
G                       C 
Some people go to the mountains

G                                D
Some people, they go down to the sea

            G                          C 
But there's one thing you know you can count on

        G                         D
You can always come downtown with me
[VERSE 6:]
G                           C 
If you see a light from a doorway

G                       D
You know I'm somewhere around

   G                         C 
Or else I'll be somewhere up your way

                 G             Em    D     G
Would you let me stay when the night comes down?
[CHORUS:]
                Em                        G
The night is an ocean, never reaching the end

                   Em                         G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend

                  Em                     G
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

                     Em   D    C           D           G
What you gotta do is stay with me when the night comes down

Em  D      C  D C
Say you'll be around

Em   D   C     D     G     D
When the night comes down

Say, let's go downtown

Em   D    C           D           G
Stay with me when the night comes down
