Intro: Cmaj7   Am7   Dm7   G 

verse 1: 
Cmaj7            Am7 
What can you do, you'll never win 
Dm7                    G 
Where will you go when night closes in 
Cmaj7               Am7 
Where will it lead, will it ever end 
Dm7                 G           E7         Am 
Where will it stop, losing a friend isn't 
               F             Am 
What we had in mind exactly  
                 D               Am 
All we need is a friend I guess 
                 F                      C 
With my midnight star to guide through 
          G     Am    G/B 
Clouds of loneliness 


verse 2: 
Cmaj7             Am7 
You knew someone, but was it love 
Dm7            G 
So many years, push came to shove 
Cmaj7               Am7 
You had a dream, so they had one too 
Dm7              G           E7           Am 
You turned away, they were untrue, in our  
              F                  Am 
Early days we were too willing 
                   D              Am 
At the time we had yet to arrive 
               F            C 
Many a man and woman found 
          G     Am    G/B 
Trying to stay alive
