   G  G  D  Em D  Em A

   Bm          D
e|-------2-----------2------|
B|-----3---3-------3---3----|
G|---4-------4---2-------2--|
D|-4-----------0------------|

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


[Verse 1]

                             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


[Chorus]

                       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


[Verse 2]

                             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


[Chorus]

       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
