Lovely song by Moby. This version is based on the version with Mark Lanegan and Kris
Kristofferson.
The song starts of nice and calm, then "gathers pace" after the first chorus.
[Intro]
F F C C (x3)
F
Here come the lonely night
C
I can't escape my mind
[Verse 1]
Em
From a broken bough
C
Fall into finite space
Em
With the roof torn down
C
This house is an empty place
F C
So tired of wandering around and starting over
F C
No garden grows here now just the one leaf clover
Em
And when the windows shuttered
C
It's always dark inside
Em
Sometimes the pain is absurd
C
Still it's what fate decides
F
Thought I saw Jesus come down
C
Dressed like a soldier
F
I used to cry like a clown
C
And now I'm older
[Chorus]
Em
Here come the lonely night
C
Can't escape my mind
Em
Here come the lonely night
C
I can't escape my mind
[Break]
F F C C (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em
And the grinding wheel turns
C
And the heavens burn (heavens burn)
Em C
As the pilot ignites is a lesson learned (is a lesson learned)
F
A sullen look of concern
C
It might make you sad
F C
Like the fluttering bird in a dream you had
Em
See the vanishing act
C
Into thinnest air
Em
See the stitch in my heart
C
Has been frayed together (has been frayed together)
F
So tired of wandering around
C
And starting over
F
With a graveyard stare (graveyard stare)
C
And a one leaf clover (just the one leaf clover)
[Chorus]
Em
Here come the lonely night
C
I can't escape my mind (I can't escape my mind)
Em
Here come the lonely night
C
can't escape my mind (I can't escape my mind)
[Outro]
(One single strum each chord)
F
I saw Jesus come down
C
Dressed like a soldier
F
Once I cried like a clown
C
Now I'm older
Em
Here come the lonely night (here come the lonely night)
C
I can't escape my mind (I can't escape my mind)
Em
Here come the lonely night
C
I can't escape my mind
