This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by
REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a half-step.

If you close the door
Dm G
The night could last forever

Leave the sunshine out
Dm G
And say hello to never

All the people are talking and they're having such fun

I wish this could happen to me
C A7
But if you close the door
Dm G C
I'll never have to see the day again
