[Verse 1]
Take the ribbon from your GhairG7,
shake it loose and let it Cfall,
laying soft against your D7skin
like the shadows on the Gwall.
[Verse 2]
Come and lay down by my GsideG7  
'till the early morning Clight,
all I'm taking is your D7time,
help me make it through the Gnight.G7  
[Chorus]
I don't care what's right or Cwrong,
I won't try to underGstand,
let the devil take toA7morrow,
cause tonight I need a Dfriend.
[Verse 3]
Yesterday is dead and Ggone
and tomorrow is out of the Csight
and it's sad to be aD7lone,
help me make it through the GnightG7.
[Chorus]
I don't care what's right or Cwrong,
I won't try to underGstand,
let the devil take toA7morrow,
cause tonight I need a Dfriend.
[Verse 4]
Yesterday is dead and Ggone
and tomorrow is out of the Csight
and it's sad to be aD7lone,
help me make it through the GnightG7.
I don’t want to be D7alone,
help me make it through the Gnight.

[Verse 1]

G G7

Take the ribbon from your hair,

shake it loose and let it fall,

laying soft against your skin

like the shadows on the wall.

[Verse 2]

G G7

Come and lay down by my side

'till the early morning light,

all I'm taking is your time,

G G7

help me make it through the night.

[Chorus]

I don't care what's right or wrong,

I won't try to understand,

let the devil take tomorrow,

cause tonight I need a friend.

[Verse 3]

Yesterday is dead and gone

and tomorrow is out of the sight

and it's sad to be alone,

G G7

help me make it through the night.

[Chorus]

I don't care what's right or wrong,

I won't try to understand,

let the devil take tomorrow,

cause tonight I need a friend.

[Verse 4]

Yesterday is dead and gone

and tomorrow is out of the sight

and it's sad to be alone,

G G7

help me make it through the night.

I don’t want to be alone,

help me make it through the night.
