[Intro: ]G7
G7
When the lights go down in the city
C
Getting real low
G7 Em D
Settling in my room, i'm unnoticed
G7
When the still comes in through the window
C
Letting me go
G7 D G7
I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor
Em
On the floor
G7 Em
Where the rats all come away clean
C
They're on the floor
G7 Em
Where the children all stomped and screamed
C
Straight out the door
G7 Em D
Well i find my self on my knees
C G7
Begging please
G7
When the lights go down in the city
C G7
And everyone goes to their room
Em
Walking the trail
D
To dreamland
D G7
When the lights go down in the city
C
Something is roaring
G7
I find myself
D G7 Em
Waiting to believe
C Cm
On the floor
G7
Where the mice call shots
Em C Cm
In the corner that's where i'll be
G7 Em C Cm
When the crickets come home and sing their symphony
G7 Em D
Well i find myself on my knees
C G7 Em
Begging please
C Cm
On the floor
G7 Em
Facing the things i've done
C Cm
Here on the floor
G7
Where the years have gathered and run
Em C
That's where i'll be
G7 Em D
And i find myself on my knees
C G7
Begging please
