F Csus The wind was blowing clouds like ashes, Dm7 Bb(add9) Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches. F Dm I can see those cotton sheets dancin', Bb C On her momma's clothesline in my head. F Dm7 From my lips a lucky strike was danglin', Bb C The day was dying in a sea of red. Dm Bb Then came the night, warm and dark, F C Draggin' its chains across our hearts. Dm7 Bb The moon was full, the grass was wet, F C Making us scream, making us sweat. Dm Bb(add9) Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right, F Csus Then came the night. F Csus There was a time when love was a flower, Dm7 Bb(add9) Now it's a vine that's climbin' up the tower. F Csus And the river just rolls past the garden, Dm Bb Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened. F Dm7 I can see that tired white flag flying, Bb C I can hear that ringing mission bell. F Dm7 Telling of the innocence that's dying, Bb Csus C A sound that I remember oh so well. Dm Bb Then came the night, warm and dark, F C Draggin' its chains across our hearts. Dm7 Bb The moon was full, the grass was wet, F C Making us scream, making us sweat. Dm Bb Making us cling, making us claw, F C Making us rise, making us fall. Dm Bb Breath on breath, skin on skin, F C Can't go back there again. Dm7 Bb(add9) Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right, F Csus Then came the night. Dm Bb(add9) Yeah, then came the night. F Csus Then came the night, Dm Bb Oh yeah, yeah. F Csus Dm Bb (repeat these chords to fade) INSTRUMENTAL
