_ _ _ You know, without Bernie there would be nothing because you know the lyrics always come first.
So if I hadn't met Bernie, _ I would probably still be playing in a band or working at some record store or whatever.
But because I did meet him and he writes all those lyrics, _ we've been able to write together for 30 years.
And he was my first ever real big friend of my life.
He was the first love of my life, not in a physical sense but in an emotional sense.
_ And my life would have been so dull and boring _ _ and eventless without having met him.
And I'm so proud of the fact that we love each other more now than we ever did.
So this is the man who wrote all these wonderful lyrics, Mr.
Bernie Corbett. _ _

_ Hello, Bernie. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you.
Thank you. _ _ _

_ And this is a [F] special song.
You know, when we made albums, we were making an album at _ Caribou when Yellow Brick [C] Road was out.
We were making the next album.
And I remember writing this song very early in the morning when I got up and one of our members was going to bed.
In fact, it was Nigel Olsen, my drummer.
And I started writing this song and he came down and he went, that's a number one single.
And he was right.
_ _ _ Thank you very much for tonight.

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ can't lie, [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ no more [F] of your _ _ [C] darkness _
_ All _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ my _ pictures _ seem to fade to black and _ [G] _ white _ _ _
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Growing tired, _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ time stands still [F] before _ _ _ [C] me
_ _ [F] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ Frozen here, _ _ _ _ I'm the light of my _ [G] life _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ Too _ late [C] to [G] _ _ _ _ set myself [F] in _ form
[C] _ _
I [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ took a chance, _ _ _ _ _ I changed to have [G] _ _ life _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But you _ misread [C] _ [G] my _ _ _ meaning when I [C] met _ _ _ _ you _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ Closed the door _ _ _ _ _ and left me _ [C] _ blinded _ _ _ by [F] the light
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ Don't let the sun _ go down on _ _ me
_ [Am] _ Although I search myself, there's [D] always someone else I see
I _ [C] just allow a fragment _ of your [F] life _ _ _ [G]
to wander [C] _ _ free _ _
_ By _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] losing _ _ everything, [Am] like [Dm] the sun [F] _ [C] going down _ on _ me _
I _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ can't find _ _ _ _ _ _ _ another [F] night in _ [C] life
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ See me _ wonder, _ _ _ _ _ see the way I [G] feel _ _ _
[C] Don't _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ discard [C] me, [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] just because you [F] think I mean you [C] harm
But _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ these cubs I have, _ _ _ _ _ they [C] need love _ _ to have their [F] fill
_ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Don't let the sun _ go down on me

Although [C] _ I search myself, there's [D] always someone else I see
I [C] just allow a fragment of your [F] _ life _ [G] _ _

_ _ [F] _ By losing everything, _ like the sun going [C] down _ on _ me
