This old house is falling down around my ears
C G D
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
G D
When all my will is gone, you hold me sway
C G D G
I need you at the dimming of the day.
D A
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
D A D G C
You know just where I keep my better side
G D
What days have come to keep us far apart?
C G D
A broken promise or a broken heart
G D
Now all the morning birds have wheeled away
C G D G
I need you at the dimming of the day
CHORUS 2:
D A
Come the night you're only what I want
D A D G C
Come the night you could be my confidant-----
G D
I see you on the street and in company
C G D
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
G D
I'm living for the night we steal away
C G D G
I need you at the dimming of the day
C G D G
I need you at the dimming of the day
NOTE: This is actually orignially a Richard Thompson song,
but the Bonnie Raitt version has changed the key and
reordered some of the words.
(from Longing in Their Hearts, 1994)
