[VERSE 1:]
G C G
Darkness comes down on city
D
Another day is done
G C
Street lights you up so pretty
G D
You and me can have some kind of fun
[VERSE 2:]
G C
But there's a light in the basement doorway
G D
How's about you and me stick around
G C
Take a chance you can have it all your way
G Em D G
If you tell me you'll stay when the night comes down
[CHORUS:]
Em G
'Cause the night is an ocean, never reaching the end
Em G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend
Em G
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
Em D C D G
What you gotta do is stay with me when the night comes down

[VERSE 3:]
C G
See them all coming in from streets
D
All their stuff and money to burn
G C
They all know they're gonna get their business fixed
G D
They're gonna have fun, got nothing to learn
[VERSE 4:]
G C
Some of them will go home lonely
G D
Some of them will tear each other apart
G C
Some of them, like me and you, have seen it all
G Em D G
Just keep dancing to the beat of their heart
[CHORUS:]
Em G
'Cause the night is an ocean, never reaching the end
Em G
But if you got the notion, I got the money to spend

We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

[VERSE 5:]
G C
Some people go to the mountains
G D
Some people, they go down to the sea
G C
But there's one thing you know you can count on
G D
You can always come downtown with me
[VERSE 6:]
G C
If you see a light from a doorway
G D
You know I'm somewhere around
G C
Or else I'll be somewhere up your way
G Em D G
Would you let me stay when the night comes down?
[CHORUS:]
