Verse
              D             G 
When this old world gets me down 
            A              D      A 
And life's a chain I drag around 
             D             G 
When I can't find a ray of hope 
           A                 D      A 
To help me soothe my worried soul 
 
Chorus
     D            G 
Only you and you alone 
             A                  D      A 
Can turn the darkest night into dawn 
         D                  G 
The only reason for hanging on 
   A            D 
Is you and you alone

Holding you close to me 
        A                   D      A 
Gives me all the strength I need 
            D              G 
Then I wake up it's just a dream 
            A            D      A 
All that's left are memories 
 
Chorus

Can turn the darkest night into dawn
