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.



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 on 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 touch you now.




      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.
