[Verse 1]
FI used to lay out in a field under the Milky WaGy
FWith everything that I was feeling that I could not Gsay
EmWith every doubt and every sorrow that was in my way
FTearing around inside my head like it was there Gto stay
[Chorus]
EmNight in my Deyes, Cthe night inside me
EmThere where the Dshadows Cand the night could hide me
EmNight in my Deyes
DSky full of stars turning Cover me
  CWaiting for night to set me free
[Verse 2]
FI caught a ride into the city every chance I goGt
FI wasn't sure there was a name for the life I sGought
EmNow I'm a long way gone down the life I got
FI don't know how I believed some of the things GI thought
[Chorus]
EmNight in my Deyes, Cthe night inside me
EmHere where the Dshadows Cgather to decide me
EmNight in my Deyes
DOut at the end of light and Cgravity
  CWaiting for night
[Bridge]
  EmIt takes the night to Dclear all of this mess aCway
  EmThe obligation, the Dburden and the light of Cday
  EmIt takes the night to fDall between the world I oBmbey
And a world where I hear Cangels play
CMaybe I should go back to Spain
[Verse 3]
FI walk around inside the questions of my Gday
FI navigate the inner reaches of my Gdisarray
EmI pass the altars where fools and thieves hold sway
FI wait for night to come and lift this dread aGway
[Chorus]
EmNight in my Deyes, Cthe night inside me
EmHere where the Dshadows Cand the light divide me
EmNight in my Deyes
DNight full of promise and unCcertainty
  CWaiting for night to set me free
