  			Intro: A D (x2) 

   A 
I walked you to the corner we stood beside the bus 
          D 
And the tears rolled down our faces as the driver stared at us 
A 
Typical summer that time of year 
      D 
When you go back to Toronto and I stay here 

          E 
And I’ll miss the way you wake up 
         D 
And the way that you sigh 
          E                                D            A 
And I’ll miss the way you turn your head away when you cry 
E 
I don’t think this time will fly 

A               D 
Here comes the sad nights again 
 Bm             E           A 
Here comes the sad nights again 

Round about midnight when it’s still too hot to think 
We’ll go back down to the neighborhood and get ourselves a drink 
Everyday working not getting far 
You know this town ain’t much for starting up it’s only 
made for stars 

Later when I’m walking 
Underneath the starless sky 
There’s a couple in the doorway and I think I hear them cry 
But they turn their heads when I go by 

CHORUS 

F#m D F#m E 
F#m D Bm  E 

Last days of summer San Gennaro Feast 
There’s much hanging in the air and dancing in the streets 
People line the corners and they stand beside the fires 
And I’m watching from my window as the sparks go by 

Somewhere there’s a gunshot 
People scatter everywhere 
But it happens everyday so there’s still laughter in the air 
And as I lay down I wish you were here 

CHORUS 

      Bm        E           A 
Here comes the sad nights again 

A-Asus2-A (repeat to end)
