Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The stars grow dim
[Ab]and the moon s[C]inks low
It's getting kinda late
and soon I'll have [F]to [Edim]go[A]
So [Dm]hold me now
and [E]maybe you will [Am]hear the
secret my [Gm]heart keep
[C]As we [F]stand here in the [G]shadow,
while the city [C]sleeps
The day is [Ab]done,
the crowds have left [C]the street
My other love, he must never know me
[F]For[Em] his [A]heart [Dm]would break
if [E]he would ever [Am]see you here with m[Gm]e
[C]So we [F]meet here in the shadows
[G]while the city [C]sleeps
I've tried [F]so hard to [C]tell [F]him
[C]That I've found somebody [A]new
I've [Dm]tried but it's so hard [C]to do
I think I'd [F]rather [C]die
than have to [G]watch him [Ab]cry
[Db]Kiss me darling, hold me [Db]tight
We may not have tomorrow,
but we still have [Gb]tonight[Eb][Ebm]
Someday we'll [Fm]walk in the sunlight
For [Bbm]all the world to se[Db]e
But [Gb]now we walk in shadow
[Ab]while the city [Db]sleeps
While the city sleeps
While the city sleeps
While the city [Db]sleeps[A]

[Outro 1]
I'm free
[Db][A]
