Intro: E pause
          A--E--; (4x)

                  I
  A                              E
   How can I choose the words to tell you
                              A
   Words I should have said before
                               E
   Now more and more I long to hold you
                                   F#m-A-B-
   I wish you'd never closed the door, oh
      F#m-A-B-
   Oh no

                  II
  A                         E
   Now it's late and I feel older
                          A  
   Having lost so much to you
                                E
   And though I know everything is over
                            F#m
   How I wish it could be true
         A         B                 
   That you would stay, oh no
      F#m           A             B
   A love like yours won't come my way

                 Chorus
  E                     A        B
   I need you here when darkness comes
  E                       A          B
   I want you near before I turn and run
  E                     A         B
   I need you here when darkness comes
  E                      A          B
   I beg you near before I turn and run

   Interlude: A-E-; (4x)

                 III
  A                              E
   You gave me hope then gave me tears
                              A
   Though I could never blame you
                               E
   I'm callin' out but no one hears
                            F#m
   How I wish it could be true
         A         B       
   That you would stay, oh no
    F#m          A                 B
   A love like yours won't come my way

   (Repeat Chorus)

   Adlib: A-E-; (4x)
          E pause A pause

   (Repeat I)

   (Repeat Chorus)

   Coda: (Do chord pattern: E--A-B-;)
         Pa rap pap pap... (4x, fade)
