CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   Dm   C   F   Am    Dm    F  
To the whole Croom her Dmeyes are numbF  
As she Greads from a Ctrue love Amstory
From the Dmpages of a book, her lover comesF  
Her heart Gbleeds, it's a Ctrue love story
GMisty shape in the Amwindow by her Gbed
Dreaming on what she's read
Hero takes her Amhand and leads her Gthrough
Who knows what this night will do
CHORUS:
COnly in the blue night, he comes to her
GOnly in the blue nightAm  
That's when the whole night belongs to her
GOnly in the blue night
DmI see a dark face by the moon's glowF  
As she Greads from a Ctrue love Amstory
DmBeckoning hand, scratching at the windowF  
Her heart Gbleeds, it's a Ctrue love story
GMisty path and the Amnight is endless
GShe could be a Queen or a desert princess
Hero takes her Amhand and leads her Gthrough
Who knows what this night will do
CHORUS: 
COnly in the blue night, he comes to her
GOnly in the blue nightAm  
That's when the whole night belongs to her
