[Intro]
 A–  D–  Bm-  D- A  
[Verse]
AI walked you to the corner we stood beside the bus
DAnd the tears rolled down our faces as the driver stared at us
ATypical summer that time of year
When Dyou go back to Toronto and I stay here
And I’ll Emiss the way you wake up, and the Dway that you sigh
And I’ll Emiss the way you turn your head Daway when you cAry
EI don’t think this time will fly
[Chorus]
AHere comes the Dsad nights again
HerBme comes the sDad nEights aAgain
[Verse]
AAround about midnight when it's still too hot to think
DWe'll go back down to the neighbourhood and get ourselves a drink
AEvery day working not getting far
No, this Dtown ain't much for starting off, it's only made for stars
And Elater when I'm walking underDneath the starless sky
There's a Ecouple in a doorway and I Dthink I hear them Acry
EBut they turn their heads when I go by
[Chorus]
AHere comes the Dsad nights again
HerBme comes the sDad nEights aAgain
[Solo]
 Bm-  D-  E-  Bm-  D- E  
[Verse]
ALast days of summer, San Janelle feast
There's Dmusic hanging in the air and dancing in the streets
APeople line the corners and they stand beside the fires
And I'm Dwatching from my window as the sparks go by
And Esomewhere there's a gunshot people Dscatter everywhere
And it Ehappens every day so there's still Dlaughter in the Aair
EAnd as I lay down I wish you were here
[Chorus]
And Ahere comes Dthe sad nights again
HerBme comes Dthe Esad niAghts again
HerBme comes Dthe Esad niAghts again

[Intro]

A D Bm D A

– – - -

[Verse]

I walked you to the corner we stood beside the bus

And the tears rolled down our faces as the driver stared at us

Typical summer that time of year

When you go back to Toronto and I stay here

E D

And I’ll miss the way you wake up, and the way that you sigh

E D A

And I’ll miss the way you turn your head away when you cry

I don’t think this time will fly

[Chorus]

A D

Here comes the sad nights again

Bm D E A

Here comes the sad nights again

[Verse]

Around about midnight when it's still too hot to think

We'll go back down to the neighbourhood and get ourselves a drink

Every day working not getting far

No, this town ain't much for starting off, it's only made for stars

E D

And later when I'm walking underneath the starless sky

E D A

There's a couple in a doorway and I think I hear them cry

But they turn their heads when I go by

[Chorus]

A D

Here comes the sad nights again

Bm D E A

Here comes the sad nights again

[Solo]

Bm D E Bm D E

[Verse]

Last days of summer, San Janelle feast

There's music hanging in the air and dancing in the streets

People line the corners and they stand beside the fires

And I'm watching from my window as the sparks go by

E D

And somewhere there's a gunshot people scatter everywhere

E D A

And it happens every day so there's still laughter in the air

And as I lay down I wish you were here

[Chorus]

A D

And here comes the sad nights again

Bm D E A

Here comes the sad nights again

Bm D E A

Here comes the sad nights again
