[Verse 1]
C     D    G                   D
Night time comes and finds you alone
     D7                     C
In a space and time of your own
        Em                        Bm C
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows
C    D    G                    D
Down the street the neon light shines
         D7                     C
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
            Em                      Bm C
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow
 
[Chorus]
C   D G                   D        C
Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
C   D G                      D        C
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
C   D G                        D         C
Yes I should know better but I can't say no
C        D    C  D    G  C
Oh no no no...no no...no no
 
[Verse 2]
C   D          G                    D
The lights are low and the music is loud
              D7                        C
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
         Em                  Bm C
One more face in a palace of mirrors
C   D    G                  D
One more drink your sailing away
         D7                     C
One more dream but it's looking okay
         Em                            Bm C
One more time to watch the flow of the river
 
[Chorus]
C   D G                   D        C
Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
C   D G                      D        C
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
C   D G                        D         C
Yes I should know better but I can't say no
C        D    C  D    G  C
Oh no no no...no no...no no
 
[Verse 3]
C      D        G                      D
You’ve seen it all yeah you’ve seen it before
       D7                            C
Like a fool you always come back for more
              Em                            Bm C
You live your life like there was no more tomorrow
C     D    G                   D
Night time comes and finds you alone
     D7                     C
In a space and time of your own
        Em                   Bm C
Lost in dreams in a world of shadows
 
[Chorus]
C   D G                   D        C
Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
C   D G                      D        C
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
C   D G                        D         C
Yes I should know better but I can't say no
C        D    C  D    G  C
Oh no no no...no no...no no
