C                                       F 
Sometimes love can sure get lost in the daytime 

            G7                                     C 
And working eight long hours you're only a picture in my mind 

                                                      F 
But when we're finally alone in each other's arms our love is found 

         G7                                C 
And only lovers know what goes on when the sun goes down 

  
                      F        C 
What goes on when the sun goes down 

F         C                            G7 
Pillow talking love tangled sheets and cotton gowns 

          C                    F 
What goes on when the sun goes down 

            C                    G7               C 
Makes the every day life of two people in love go round 

  
                                          F 
Every morning with love renewed we face another day 

G7                                            C 
Screen doors banging the boss complaining and bills to pay 

                                                  F 
Through it all we wear love's smile from the happiness we've found 

         G7                                C 
And only lovers know what goes on when the sun goes down 

  
                      F        C 
What goes on when the sun goes down 

F         C                            G7 
Pillow talking love tangled sheets and cotton gowns 

          C                    F 
What goes on when the sun goes down 

            C                    G7               C 
Makes the every day life of two people in love go round
