  			The Last Question (In the Dead of the Night)

E                  A                     G#m  F#m 
How can I feel so alive with you darlin'  
       B           E 
In the dead of the night  
                       A                G#m  F#m 
Why do I reach out for you every mornin' 
       B              E  
At the first sign of light  

A                         E 
How could I not know you knew you were leavin'  
                    B7 
How could I not realize  
E                    A                   G#m  F#m 
How could I not know you were pretending  
              B                 E 
Where did the truth lie in your eyes  

Why do I feel so much love for you darlin'
Feel so much love deep inside
Oh why do I still feel alive with you darlin'
Here in the dead of the night

How could I not know you were only pretending
How could I not realize
How could I not know you knew you were leaving
Where did the truth lie in your eyes

Where did the truth lie in your eyes
In the dead of the night
