Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Fsharpminor
 When the day  is done and there's nowhere  to run (nowhere to run)
 And the people  of the city have all lost  and won
 In your city  dress you stand  and stare (you stand and stare)
 And you smoke  another cigarette and comb  your hair
 And the light  (The Light) that  shines (That Shines)
 Fsharpminor
 Paints a trace of sadness
 On the street  (The Street) I  wait (I wait)
 Fsharpminor
 But I can't seem to get to you.
 (Same Pattern)
 oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier (it's gettin' late)
 'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait
 So you move along where it's going on (it's going on)
 And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn
 And the sun (The Sun) that shines (That Shines)
 Paints a trace of sadness
 In your eyes (Those eyes) that cry (That Cry)
 Wishing and hoping
 Oh...
Sweet,  sweet is the night
 Now you  are near
Dark,  dark were the days
 They disappear
Sweet,  sweet is the night
   Fsharpminor
 Now you are near.
 (Same Pattern)
 Well you did your thing and you lost your wings (you did your thing)
 And you hurt so bad you lost everything
 And the tears that fall on the city wall (the city wall)
 Will fade away with the rays of morning light THE LIGHT that shines THAT SINES
 Paints a smile across your pretty face (Your Face)
 I know (I know)
 Everything is alright
 Alright... uh oo uh oo uh oo
 REPEAT CHORUS x2
 Fsharpminor
