D#m 
Bruise coloured skies 
            B               F# 
Holding our nightly dose of stars, 
           D#m 
Make it an evening 
                B                   F# 
By sounding you glass with touch of mine, 
                  D#m 
We’re toasting ourselves again 
            B                F# 
For we have survived another day, 
                  D#m 
With dwindling illusions 
            B                   F# 
That we are immune and can’t decay 


            C#       B               F# 
But in this twilight hour of swollen promises 
            C#                  B            F# 
No harm can reach us that will last till the morning 

 
               D#m 
We’re sharing our stories, 
            B             F# 
Laughing at all with no offence, 
             D#m 
Tales of misfortune 
         B                        F# 
Render a smile though hindsight’s lens 
          C#     B                        F# 
But as we gather thoughts on tongues grown looser 
      C#       B                F# 
We unaware are writing the next chapter 


                 D#m 
So don’t let the sun go down 
   C#         B       F# 
With darkness on your heart, 
  B                  D#m 
Guard memories with gates of peace 
  C#         B   F# 
Before the day departs 
  C#         B   F# 
Before the day departs 

 
              D#m 
And when you're falling 
                B              F# 
In some foreign place of future time 
                 D#m 
Well it won't be ea-(he)-sy 
                   B            F# 
But just know your sadness is a liar 
             D#m 
It tells you he's here to stay 
                   B 
And tells you that you can't change 
             D#m      C#             F# 
Makes you forget the joy that you deserve 



               C#       B 
Think of those summer nights 
                 F# 
And know they'll come again 
              C#     B                F# 
Head out that lonely door restore old friendships 


                  D#m 
And don’t let the sun go down 
     C#         B       F# 
With darkness on your heart, 
 B                   D#m 
Guard memories with gates of peace 
C#         B     F# 
Before the day departs 
C#         B     F# 
Before the day departs 
C#         B    F# 
Before the day departs
