  E           G#m7                     C#m 
   Turn down the lights, turn down the bed 
                    B/D#      G#m7    C#m 
   Turn down these voices inside my head 
  E           G#m7               Em7 
   Lay down with me, tell me no lies 
  E              B/D#   G#m7     C#m

   'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't 
              E         B           B/D#        E 
   You can't make your heart feel something it won't 
    G#m         E         F#/A#      G#m 
   Here in the dark, in these final hours 
           G#m7         E        F#/A#         G#m7 
   I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power

   I'll close my eyes, then I won't see 
         E             B/D#  G#m             C#m 
   The love you don't feel when you're holding me 
      E         G#m                      E 
   Morning will come and I'll do what's right 
       E              B/D#     G#m         C#m 
   Just give me till then to give up this fight 
                    F# 
   And I will give up this fight 

   (Repeat Chorus)

              F#         C#           C#/F        F# 
   You can't make your heart feel something it won't

   Here in the dark, in these final hours
