Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

(Words & Music by Elton John & Bernie Taupin)

Intro:
 CC/BbF/AC/GFDm
 GC/GG7F/CCF/CC
 I can't light            no more of your darkness                 
 FGC/GGC/G
 All my pictures seem to fade to black and white                    
 GC/GG7F/CCC7/E
 I'm growing tired           and time stands still before me     
 FBb/FFGC/GG7
 Frozen here           on the ladder of my life               

 C/GG7CF/CCC7/E
It's much too late             to save myself from falling                   
 FBb/FFGC/GG
 I took a chance             and changed your way of life                 
 G7C/GGF/CCC7/E
 But you misread            my meaning when I met you      
 FC/GGF/G
 Closed the door and left me blinded by the light         
Chorus:

 CC/Bb
 Don't let the sun go down on me
 Am7D7/F#
 Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
 C/GF/GG7CC/Bb
 I'd just allow a fragment of your life      to wander free          
 F/ADmC/EFC/GF/GC
But losing everything is like the sun  going down   on   me  

(repeat intro chords)

I can't find oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me (baby no) just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help me heal Oh..

(repeat chorus)

Ending:
 CC/BbF/AAbBbC
..down on me
