A                            A                              E 
  I never ask you where you go, after I leave you in the morning 
D                          E                  A Bm               A/C#    D 
  We go our different ways to separate situations, it's not that easy anymore 
A                           A                              E 
  Today I do what must be done, I give my time to total strangers 
D                       E                         A Bm             A/C#       D   D/E - E 
  But now it feels as though the day goes on forever, more than it ever did before 
 
A            G               D         E            
  Until the night, until the night, I just might make it 
A            G               Bm-A- D     E            G   D  A 
  Until the night, until the night, when I see you again 
 
A                                      A                                E 
  Now you're afraid that we have changed, and I'm afraid we're getting older 
D                       E                  A Bm         A/C#           D 
  So many broken hearts, so many lonely faces, so many lovers come and gone 
A                                D                                      E 
  I'll have my fears like every man, you'll have your tears like every woman 
D                       E                        A Bm           A/C#            D  D/E - E 
  Today we'll be unsure, is this what we believe in, and wonder how can we go on 
 
A            G               D         E 
  Until the night, until the night, I just might make it 
A            G               Bm-A- D     E            G   D  A 
  Until the night, until the night, when I see you again 
 
E                   C/E                  D              A                     E 
  When the sun goes down and the day is over, when the last of the light has gone 
                         C/E                        D   
  As they pour into the street, I will be getting closer 
         Bm7/E                      A                          Bm 
  As the cars turn their headlights on, as they're closing it down 
                    E9                              D/F#  - 
  I'm gonna open it up, and while they're going to sleep 
                  E/G#        A                           Bm 
  We'll just be starting to touch, I'm just beginning to feel 
                         E                          D/F#  -          E/G#        A 
  I'm just beginning to give, I'm just beginning to feel, I'm just beginning to live 
                       Bm                            E 
  Before I leave you again, before the light of the dawn 
                         D/F#  -      E/G#              A     
  Before this evening can end, I have been waiting so long 
 
(F/A  G   E   A)  (2x)    F G E 
 
A            G                D        E 
  Until the night, until the night, I just might make it 
A            G                D           E 
  Until the night, until the night, I'll just keep holding on 
A            G               Bm-A- D     E             G   D  Bm   A   
  Until the night, until the night, when I see you again
