The previous version was incomplete. This version contains all the lyrics and
chords. I do not know
the picking pattern for the guitar during the verses, chorus, or bridge so I did
not include it, I
included the chords for strumming (rhythm).
Chords:
D6sus4: X-X-0-7-8-7
Dmaj7sus2: X-X-0-9-10-9
D7: X-X-0-5-7-5
G/D: X-X-0-4-3-3
Gm/D: X-X-0-3-3-3
Am: X-0-2-2-1-0
D9: X-5-X-5-5-2 or X-5-4-5-5-X
Dm: X-X-0-2-3-1
D: X-X-0-2-3-2
Cadd9: X-3-2-0-3-0 (Note: a regular C chord works fine instead)
\* = begin strumming
*/ = end strumming (start picking again)

INTRO X 2
VERSE 1
D6sus4Dmaj7sus2
Even in the quietest moments,
D7G/D
I wish I knew,
D7G/DGm/D
what I had to do.
D6sus4Dmaj7sus2
And even though the sun is shining,
D7G/D
well, I feel the rain,
D7G/D
hear it comes again,
Gm/D
dear.
\* Am D9
And even when you showed me,
AmD9
my heart was out of tune,
Dm
for there's a shadow of doubt
AmCadd9D
that's not letting me find you to soon.
AmD9
The music that you gave me,
AmD9
the language of my soul,
Dm
Lord I wanna be with you, won't you
AmCaddDadd9
let me come in from the cold?
CHORUS 1
Cadd9D
Don't you let the sun fade away,
Cadd9D
don't you let the sun fade away,
Cadd9D
don't you let the sun be leaving,
Cadd9 D */
won't you come to me soon?
VERSE 2
D6sus4Dmaj7sus2
Even though the stars are listening,
D7G/D
and the oceans deep,
D7G/DGm/D
I just go to sleep.
D6sus4Dmaj7sus2
And then I create the silent movie,
D7G/D
you become the star,
D7G/D
is that what you are,
Gm/D
dear?
\* Am D9
Your whisper tells a secret,
AmD9
your laughter brings me joy,
Dm
and a wonder of feeling I'm
AmCaddD
nature's own little boy.
AmD9
But still the tears keep falling,
AmD9
they're raining from the sky.
Dm
Well there's a lot of me got go
AmCadd9Dadd9
under before I get high.
CHORUS 2
Cadd9D
Don't you let the sun disappear,
Cadd9D
don't you let the sun disappear,
Cadd9D
don't you let the sun be leaving,
Cadd9D
no, you come to me soon.
BRIDGE
Cadd9D
And can't be leaving my life.
Cadd9D
Say that you won't be leaving my life.
Cadd9D
Say won't you please, say won't you please.
Cadd9D
Lord won't you come and get into my life?
Cadd9D
Say won't you please, say won't you please,
Cadd9 D */
oh, Lord don't go...
VERSE 3
D6sus4Dmaj7sus2
And even when the song is over,
D7G/D
where have I been,
D7G/DGm/D
was it just a dream?
D6sus4Dmaj7sus2
And though your door is always open,
D7G/D
where do I begin,
D7G/D
may I please come in,
Gm/D
dear.
NOTE: Strum last chord slow; each note should sound out individually, not as a whole.
