I play this song on piano!!! So unfortunately I can't help you guys voice it on the
guitar, but these are the right chords.
This sounds best played on piano because the way I wrote the chords it gets the moving
bass line involved.
 
 
[Intro]
|C        |C/Bb      |F     C     |F        |
 
 
[Verse 1]
G              C/G  G                     F      C   F/C  C  C/E
  I can't light        no more of your    darkness
F                Bb/F   F                          G       C/G   G   C/G    G
 All my pictures         seem to fade to black and white
G                  C/G  G                         F      C   F/C  C  C/E
  I'm growing tired         and time stands still before me
F             Bb/F   F                       G    C/G   G   C/G    G
  Frozen here           on the ladder of my life
G          C/G  G                      F    C   F/C  C  C/E
  Too late         to save myself from falling
F                Bb/F  F                           G     C/G   G   C/G    G
  I took a chance          and changed your way of life
G               C/G  G                    F   C   F/C  C  C/E
But you misread         my meaning when I met you
F                 Bb/F  F             C/G            G      F/G
  Closed the door         and left me blinded by the light  ahh ahh
 
 
[Chorus]
C                      C/Bb
  Don't let the sun go down on me
F/A                                       D7/F#
    Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G                                   F/G  G            C        C/Bb
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life    to wander free
    F/A                           Dm  C/E  F    C/G  G
But losing everything is like the sun go---ing  down on 
 
|C        |C/Bb      |F/A    C/G     |F        |
me
 
 
[Verse 2]
G               C/G  G7                  F        C   F/C  C  C/E
  I can't find,        oh the right romantic line
F                 Bb/F  F                   G     C/G   G7
  But see me once         and see the way I feel
G                  C/G  G                   F                C   F/C  C  C/E
  Don't discard me         just because you think I mean you harm
F                      Bb/F  F          C/G               G   F/G
  But these cuts I have       they need love to help them heal
 
 
[Chorus]
C                    C/Bb
Don't let the sun go down on me
F/A                                   D7/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G                                  F/G  G            C        C/Bb
   I'd just allow a fragment of your life    to wander free
    F/A                           Dm  C/E  F    C/G  G
But losing everything is like the sun go---ing  down on 
 
|C        |C/Bb      |F/A          |Ab6    Bb      |
me
 
 
C                      C/Bb
  Don't let the sun go down on me
F/A                                   D7/F#
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G                                   F/G  G            C        C/Bb
    I'd just allow a fragment of your life    to wander free
    F/A                           Dm  C/E  F    C/G  G
But losing everything is like the sun go---ing  down on

I have to say this is the only version on here that seems even remotely close. Not sure why it doesn't have more votes!

"But losing everything" is not an Am, it's an F chord. and also the same with the bridge to the last chorus, replace the Am with F. Perfection.
