Patti Smith - Because the Night

Bm  G      A     Bm       Bm   G      A    Bm

Bm        G              A            Bm
Take me now, baby, here as I am.
           G                 A       Bm
Pull me close try and understand.
              G                  A       Bm
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
             G              A            Bm
Love is a banquet on which we feed.
G         A                  D      A
Come on now, try and understand
     Bm      G            D               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 no-o-o-ow.

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.


Bm       G       A           Bm
Have I doubt when I'm alone?
              G              A    Bm
Love is a ring on the telephone.
               G            A          Bm
Love is an angel disguised as lust,
                 G                 A          Bm
here in our bed until the morning comes.
G         A                  D      A
Come on now, try and understand
     Bm      G              D          A
the way I feel under your command.
D           G                    A
Take my hand as the sun descends.
        C                            Bm                          F#
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.

CHORUS


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


CHORUS
