Bm       G          A         Bm
Take me now, baby, here as I am.
Bm        G           A      Bm
Pull me close try and understand.
  Bm       G              A      Bm
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
Bm         G           A       Bm
Love is a banquet on which we feed.

 G       A           D      A
Come on now, try and understand
    Bm     G                     A
the way I feel when I'm in your hand.
 D       G                A
Take my hand; come under cover.
      C                   Bm                  F#
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't
hurt you now.

Chorus:
Bm           G             A     Bm
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Bm           G             A  Bm
Because the night belongs to lust.
Bm           G             A   Bm
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Bm           G             A Bm
Because the night belongs to us.

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't hurt you now

Chorus

      D         A         D         A
With love we sleep; with doubt the vicious
        Bm        A
circle turns and burns.
    D       A         Bm       A        D
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning
 A
burning.
   G            D         G
I believe it's time, too real to feel.
    Bm            D             G          F#
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.
