I like to play the stanzas going up and down on the chords:
 
[Example]
   Bm          D
e|-------2-----------2------|
B|-----3---3-------3---3----|
G|---4-------4---2-------2--|
D|-4-----------0------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--------------------------|
 
Then strum the chords when at the chorus.
 
 
[Intro]
 
   G  G  D  Em D  Em A
e|-3--3--2--0--------------|
B|-0--0--3--0--3--0--2-----|
G|-0--0--2--0--2--0--2-----| x2
D|-------------0--2--2-----|
A|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|
 
 
[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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                             D       G
        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
 
 
[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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       A                     D       G
        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)
       Bm               G               A
        I wish you were, I wish you were
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
       Bm              D     Bm                D
        In the dark of night, those faces they haunt me
              Em               F#         Bm
        But I wish you were so close to me
              Em            F#    Bm
        Yes I wish you were by my side
