| [D] | [D] | [G] | [G]
| [D] | [D]
This old | [G] house is falling | [G] down around my | [D] ears | [D]
I'm | [C] drowning in | [G] a river... of my | [D] tears | [D]
When | [G] all my will is | [G] gone, you hold me | [D] sway | [D]
and I | [C] need you at the | [G] dimming [D] of the | [Gsus4] day. | [G]
Chorus
You | [D] pull me like the | [D] moon pulls on | [A] the tide | [A]
You | [D] know just where I | [D] keep my better | [A] side | [D] [G] | [C!]
What | [G] days have come to | [G] keep us far a- | [D] part? | [D]
A | [C] broken promise | [G] or a broken | [D] heart | [D]
Now | [G] all the bonnie | [G] birds have wheeled a- | [D] way | [D]
and I | [C] need you at the | [G] dimming [D] of the | [G] day | [G]
Chorus
| [D] Come the night you're | [D] only what I | [A] want | [A]
| [D] Come the night you could | [D] be my confi- | [A] dant | [D] [G] | [C!]
I | [G] see you on the | [G] street and in compa- | [D] ny | [D]
Why | [C] don't you come and | [G] ease your mind | [D] with me | [D]
I'm | [G] living for the | [G] night we steal a- | [D] way | [D]
I | [C] need you at the | [G] dimming [D] of the | [G] day | [C]
yes I | [G] need you at the | [D] dimming of the | [G] day | [G!]
