Am                    G
Well, here comes the night
Am                G
Its dark shadows passing over me
Am                      G                        F
I've been feeling the chill ever since you been gone
Am               G
I'm thinking of you, girl
Am                   G
Wondering if you're going to return to me
Am           G                              F
Or was it a waste of time all we've been through
G              F
When I'm all alone
G                    F
I don't have someone I can run to
C       D                     Esus4 E
Baby, I ain't got no place to go

Chorus:
                        Am
Don't you know that the night
             G                D
Keeps moving on (keeps moving on)
               F
Keeps getting colder and colder
     Am                G                D
The night, always too long (Always too long)
               F
I keep looking over my shoulder
     Am                    G                  D
The night, I pray for the dawn (Pray for the dawn)
               F
Keeps getting colder and colder
     Am                G
The night, always too long
              F
Baby, you're gone

We could start again
If only you would
Reach out and touch me, baby
Like a blind man
I feel you deep down inside
I'm over the edge
I'm sorry I hurt
You so badly, girl
The things that I said
Just cannot be denied
When I'm waiting here
Hoping that someday you'll
Return to me cause, baby
Feel like I'm losing control

Chorus

My mind's running wild
I feel like a child
Who's been lost again
You've stolen my heart
Captured my soul

Chorus

Yeah, the night, the night
(Keeps moving on)
Yeah, colder and colder
The night, always too long
(Always too long) it keeps
Getting colder and colder

The night, keep moving on
(Pray for the dawn) keep
Looking over my shoulder
The night, it's always too long
