[E]You
tell me this town ain't got no [D]heart. [A]Well, [Bm]well, well, you can [D]never [Bm]tell[D].
The [E]sunny side of the street is [D]dark. [A]Well,
well, [D]well, [Bm]you [D]can never [Bm]tell.[D]
Maybe that's cause it's midnight,
in the [C#m]dark of the moon besides.

[Verse 2]
[D]Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
[C#m]Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
Maybe the dark is from [Ab]your [Cm]eyes,
[Bm]Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
You [E]know you got such dark eyes!
