Intro : G D G

G                               D
This old house is falling down around my ears
C          G           D            C
I am drowing in a river of my tears
G                            D
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
C         G            D              G
And I need you at the dimming of the day

D                                A
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
D          A            D          G       C
You know just where I keep my better side

G                              D
What days have come to keep us far apart
C          G             D         C
A broken promise or a broken heart
G                            D
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
C          G             D           G
And I need you at the dimming of the day

D                          A
Come the night you're only what I want
D           A         D       G          C
Come the night you could be my confidant

G                       D
I see you on the street in compagny
C             G           D               C
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
G                           D
I am leaving for the night we steal away
C            G          D             G
And I need you at the dimming of the day
C          G           D           G      C   G
Yes I need you at the dimming of the day
