Smith, Patti - Because The Night

1st verse:

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

Prechorus:

D       A           G6     A
Come on now try and understand
D       A            G6      A 
The way I feel under your command
D       A           G6     A
Take my hand as the sun descends
  D         (Dsus4 D)   G6
They can't   hurt you   now,

Can't   hurt you   now,
  D    (Dsus4 D)   F#
Can't   hurt you   now

2nd verse:

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

Prechorus:

Come on now try and understand
D       A            G6      A 
The way I feel under your command
D       A           G6     A
Take my hand as the sun descends
  D         (Dsus4 D)   G6
They can't   hurt you   now,
  D    (Dsus4 D)   G6
Can't   hurt you   now,
  D    (Dsus4 D)   F#
Can't   hurt you   now

Violins solo.


Bridge:

     D       A
With love we sleep
     D         A      (D)
With doubt the vicious circle 
G6        A
Turns and burns
D            A    (D)    G6
Without you, oh I cannot live
A        D            A 
Forgive, the yearning burning
 (D)  G       D          G       D
  I   believe it's time  to heal to feel

   Em           Esus4        C            F#
So take me now, take me now, take me now


Chorus

Bm        Em      A          D
Because the night belongs to lovers
Bm        Em      A          D
Because the night belongs to us
Bm        Em      A          D
Because the night belongs to lovers
    Bm        Em
And everybody says 
    A          D
It  belongs to us


Bm  Em  A  D     x4

Bm       G       A           Bm
Have I doubt when I'm alone?
