Intro 
A G Dm G 
Am F Em D 
 
verse 1 
Am 
When the day is over 
Am 
And the work is done 
Am 
Well it's a different story 
                       F 
As the darkness comes around 
                   Em 
I tried to let you know 
                 D 
You're going the wrong way 
 
verse 2 
Am 
And the streets you thought 
Am 
Would all be paved with gold 
Am 
But when the wind cuts through 
                              F 
You'd even try to sell your soul 
               Em 
Everywhere you go 
         D 
It's the long way 
 
verse 3 
F 
Now you're no longer 
         Em            D 
Just the boy next door 
               C 
When they were falling in love 
          F 
With that clean cut smile 
Em              D 
Change of style 
                    G 
Just for a little while 
 
 
A              Em 
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing 
Dm 
Walking through danger 
              G            A 
Can't see the wrong or the right 
               Em 
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing 
Dm 
Can't be a stranger 
          G            Am    F Em Dm 
Must be a trick of the night 
 
verse 4 
Am 
Well it?s a laugh a minute 
Am 
And you can't decide 
Am 
Between the burning question 
                         F 
And the fortune in his eyes 
                 Em 
You never let it show 
               D 
Or take it the wrong way 
 
Verse 5 
F 
Sometimes you wonder 
         Em            D 
What you came here for 
               C 
Oh, they could tear you apart 
           F 
With those bare faced lies 
Em             D 
Can't disguise 
                              G 
All the hurt you're feeling inside 
 
 
A              Em 
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing 
Dm 
Walking through danger 
              G            A 
Can't see the wrong or the right 
               Em 
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing 
Dm 
Can't be a stranger 
          G 
Must be a trick of the night 
A              Em 
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing 
Dm 
Walking through danger 
              G            A 
Can't see the wrong or the right 
               Em 
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing 
Dm 
Can't be a stranger 
          G            Am 
Must be a trick of the night 
Am                         F 
Of the night, of the night 
Em                       D 
Must be a trick of the night 
 
Verse 6 
Am 
When the day is over 
        Em 
And the work is done 
            Dm 
Well it's a different story 
       Dm       G 
As the darkness comes around 
Am 
And the streets you thought 
             Em 
Would all be paved with gold 
             Dm 
But when the wind cuts through 
           Dm     G 
You'd even try to sell your soul 
 
Outro 
Am 
When the day is over 
        Em 
And the work is done 
            Dm 
Well it's a different story 
                G 
As the darkness comes around 
Am 
And the streets you thought 
             Em 
Would all be paved with gold 
             Dm 
But when the wind cuts through 
                  G 
You'd even try to sell your soul 
Am 
When the day is over 
        Em 
And the work is done 
            Dm 
Well it's a different story 
                G 
As the darkness comes around 
Am 
And the streets you thought 
             Em 
Would all be paved with gold 
             Dm 
But when the wind cuts through 
                  G 
You'd even try to sell your soul
