TITLE: Because the Night
Lyrics and Chords


[As performed by Patti Smith]

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

/ Bm G A Bm / / / /

   Come on now, try and understand
   The way I feel when I'm in your hand
   Take my hand, come under cover
   They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now

   / G A D A / Bm G - A / D G - A / C - Bm - F# - - - /

{Refrain}
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

/ Bm G GA ABm / Bm G A Bm / :

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

{Refrain}

With love we sleep,  with doubt the vicious circle turns and turns
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
I believe in time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now _

/ D A D A Bm A / D A Bm A D A / G D G D / Bm - D - G - F# - /

{Refrain}
