G           C   G   D
If you have crying eyes
            G   C  G
Bring them along
                C    G    D
Or if you don't feel at ease
                   G   C  G
Maybe I know your song
B7                 Em
I don't mind if it takes us a little longer
B7                           Em            C
I'm willing to stay here and love you 'til dawn
              G
It'll be all right
G
"Play me the one that you made up for me"
                 C
It might be your night
C                                            G
"You say it's lost, but I don't believe it"
G
It might be mine
               C      G     D
So if you have doubts and fears
          G    C  G
Why stay alone
                      C   G   D
You know, I felt that way for years
                      G  C  G
Now the worst of it's gone
B7                 Em
I don't care if it takes us a few hours
B7                              Em                 C
If you've got the heart for it, I'll find the power
               G
To make it all right
G
"Sing me the sad one you used to know"
                 C
It might be your night
C                                               G
"It's either forgotten or you've changed it so"
C                                 Bm  F#m Bm  F#m
It might be yours and it might be mine
                     C
I don't want nobody crying for me
Bm F#m  Bm F#m                 C C#dim G
And          I don't need your sympathy
                   C  G D
Oh, the night is a river
                      G      C  G
Where the lonely are drowned
                 C    G  D
And if you still love    me
D       G   C  G
I'll be around
G                Am7                D
I can see by the look on your face that you're hurt
            Am7                       D
I guess you wouldn't be here if you weren't
         Gmaj7 G
It's all right cause
                  C7
It might be your night
                G     C7       G      C7    G
And it might be mine  might be mine  (over & over and fade)
