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]

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    B9   C  C/B  A
Now you are near
    A/G      F#m  F#m/B  E
Now you are near
C  E
