Em Bm Em Bm

1. Oh, the night is my world, city light, painted girl,

D Am C G

in the day nothing matters, it’s the night time that flatters.

Em Bm Em Bm

2. In the night no control, through the wall something’s breaking,

D Am C G

wearing white as you’re walking, down the street of my soul.

Em Bm

3. You take myself, you take my self control,

Em Bm

you got me living only for the night

D Am

before the morning comes, the story’s told,

C G

you take myself, you take my self control.

Em Bm

4. Another night, another day goes by,

Em Bm

I never stop myself to wonder why.

D Am

You help me to forget to play my role,

C G

you take myself, you take my self control.

Em Bm Em

I, I live among the creatures of the night,

Bm D Am

I haven’t got the will to try and fight against a new tomorrow,

Am C G

so I guess I’ll just believe it that tomorrow never comes.

Em Bm Em

A safe night, I’m living in the forest of the dream,

Bm D Am

I know the night is not as it would seem, I must believe in something,

Am C G

so I make myself believe it that this night will never go.

Em Bm Em Bm Em

+ Ohoho, ohoho, ohoho, ohoho, ohoho …

A safe night, I’m living in the forest of the dream,
