[Verse 1]
Am| Am| F/A|
Look out across the fields, see me returning
AmSmoke is in your eye, you draw a Fsmile
From the Ffireplace where my letters to you are Amburning
CYou’ve had time to think about it for a Ewhile
Well, I’ve Amwalked two hundred miles, look me Amover
It’s the Amend of the chase and the moon is Fhigh
It won’t Fmatter who loves who
G| Am| F|
You’ll love me or I’ll love you
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
Am   F| Am| F| Am| F|
When the night comes falling from the sky
[Verse 2]
I can Amsee through your walls and I know you’re Amhurting
AmSorrow covers you up like a Fcape
Only Fyesterday I know that you’ve been Amflirting
With diCsaster that you managed to esEcape
I Amcan’t provide for you no easy Amanswers
AmWho are you that I should have to Flie?
You’ll know Fall about it, love
G| Am| F|
It’ll fit you like a glove
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
Am   F| Am| F|
When the night comes falling from the sky
[Interlude]
| Am| F| Am| F|
| Am| F| Am| F|
| Am| F|
[Verse 3]
I can Amhear your trembling heart beat like a Amriver
You must have Ambeen protecting someone last time I Fcalled.
I’ve never Fasked you for nothing you couldn’t deAmliver
I’ve never Casked you to set yourself up for a Efall
I saw Amthousands who could have overcome the Amdarkness
For the Amlove of a lousy buck, I’ve watched them Fdie
Stick aFround, baby, we’re not through
G| Am| F|
Don’t look for me, I’ll see you
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
Am   F| Am| F| Am| F|
When the night comes falling from the sky
[Verse 4]
In your Amteardrops, I can see my own reAmflection
It was on the Amnorthern border of Texas where I crossed the Fline
I don’t Fwant to be a fool starving for afAmfection
I don’t Cwant to drown in someone else’s Ewine
For all eAmternity I think I will reAmmember
That Amicy wind that’s howling in your Feye
You will Fseek me and you’ll find ...
G| Am| F|
Me in the wasteland of your mind
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
Am   F| Am| F|
When the night comes falling from the sky
[Interlude]
| Am| F| Am| F|
[Verse 5]
Well, AmI sent you my feelings in a Amletter
But Amyou were gambling for supFport
FThis time tomorrow I’ll know you Ambetter
CWhen my memory is not so Eshort
AmThis time I’m asking for Amfreedom
AmFreedom from a world which you deFny
And you’ll Fgive it to me now
G| Am| F|
I’ll take it anyhow
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
AmWhen the night comes Ffalling
Am   F| Am| F| Am| F|
When the night comes falling from the sky
