(Intro Part 1)
This old house is falling down around my ears
G D A (repeat only ending section of Part 1)
I'm drowning in a river of my tears

When all my will is gone you hold me sway

A E
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
A E
You know just where I keep my better side
A D G
uuu uuu uuu
(Intro Part 1)
What days have come to keep us far apart
G D A (repeat only ending section of Part 1)
A broken promise or a broken heart
(Intro Part 1)
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
G D A D (repeat Part 3)
I need you at the dimming of the day
A E
Come the night you're only what I want
A E
Come the night you could be my confidant
A D G
uuu uuu uuu
(Intro Part 1)
I see you on the street in company
G D A (repeat only ending section of Part 1)
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
(Intro Part A)
I'm living for the night we steal away
G D A D (repeat Part 3)
I need you at the dimming of the day
G D A D
I need you at the dimming of the day
