[Verse 1]
G                      C                     G
She's thinking about the prince and Cinderella
                                             C
And the outlaws, and the hustlers, and the heroes
                     G
That never seem to fall
  G                              C
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what
                      G
The outcome of the story is
 G                              C
Because in real life I try to tell her
                      D
It's not like that at all


[Chorus]
             Em               D
Oh, won't you please just hold out now
                   Em                         D
'Cause there's some things I'd like you to forget
          C                           G
When your world is sinking like a sunset


[Verse 2]
G                    C                G
Tales of Don Juan, they're very poetic, babe
                                 C
But out on the streets out there
                             G
The true verse of life is written
G
You know it's really a shame
            C                           G
When you've got to let go of all the things you love
  G
Like a fighter he really bleeds
         C                  D
When he must hang up his gloves


[Chorus]
         Em                    D
No I am not a rock and I can feel it now
           Em                   D
But for a moment, I'd like to forget
          C                         G
That my heart is sinking like a sunset

Bm                    C
Na na na na na na na na
                   G
Sinking like a sunset
Bm                   C
Na na na na na na na n
                   G
Sinking like a sunset
Bm                    C
Na na na na na na na na


[Bridge]
 Em               D
Everybody has a story
            Em                   D
Some are tragic and some find glory
          C
But it feels more real when you're here
               D
Right next to me

[Verse 3]
          G                        C
You can walk too far out on that ledge
                G
And you might lose your mind
 G
You know I need you now
            C                     G
You're the angel that keeps me in line

  G                          C
The old sergeant has broken down
              G
He's grown senile
 G                                           C
He shouts, "kill the bastards!" in the night
                         D
'Cause he's all out of time

  Em                              D
So don't hold out, let's make love right now
                Em                       D
'Cause there's some things I'd like to forget
           C                          G
When our hearts are sinkin' like a sunset

             Em                     D
Won't you hold me now and make things alright
                Em
'Cause when you're with me here
             D                      C
The sun comes out at night, making me forget
                        G
We're sinking like a sunset

Bm                   C
Na na na na na na na na
                    G
Sinking like a sunset

Bm                    C
Na na na na na na na na
                   G
Sinking like a sunset

Bm                    C
Na na na na na na na na
                    G
Sinking like a sunset

Bm                    C
Na na na na na na na na
                    G
Sinking like a sunset
