The night is too long

When you're down and out,
          F#m
Just hold on
A               E           F#m
Realize that nothing lasts long

We must believe the things

Everything's allright with me

Keep your lights on

Where you want to be

So easy to love from
      A
A distance
E
Hard to be near when
E
You can
    Bm
Impossible now to get
A
Back to
E
Where we began

                 D
I just want to sleep
C#m       E
By your side
              D
It makes me feel
C#m    E      
So alive
                 D
I just want to sleep
C#m       E
By your side
                 D
I just want to sleep
C#m            E
Through the night
