Then strum the chords when at the chorus.


       Bm              D     Bm           D
	In the dark of night, those small hours,

          Em                  F#         Bm
	Uncertain and anxious, I need to call you

(repeat intro once)

       Bm              D         Bm            D
	Room's full of strangers, some call me friend

              Em               F#       Bm
	But I wish you were so close to me

                       D     Bm           D
	In the dark of night, those small hours

          Em              F#m      Bm
	I drift away when I'm with you

                             D       G
	In the dark of night, (by my side)

                             D       G
	In the dark of night, (by my side)

       Bm               G               A
	I wish you were, I wish you were

       Bm              D     Bm             D
	Here comes the clown, his face is a wall

           Em         F#     Bm
	No window, no air at all

	               D     Bm                D
	In the dark of night, these faces they haunt me

              Em               F#       Bm
	But I wish you were so close to me

       A                     D       G
	In the dark of night, (by my side)

                             D       G
	In the dark of night, (by my side)

       Bm               G               A
	I wish you were, I wish you were

                             D       G
	In the dark of night, (by my side)

                             D       G
	In the dark of night, (by my side)

       Bm               G               A
	I wish you were, I wish you were

       Bm              D     Bm                D
	In the dark of night, those faces they haunt me

              Em               F#         Bm
	But I wish you were so close to me

              Em            F#    Bm
	Yes I wish you were by my side
