That Dmnight will live forever
Their first tDmime to lie together
They were fiAnally where desire dared them to Dmgo
Both beloDmnging to another
But lonDmging to be lovers
PromAising each other that the nDmight will only know
Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the back seat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceiving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they'd picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know
Well wiFthin the innuendos
Just ouDmtside the steamy windows
The niFght was shattered by a woman's scrAeam
MotiDmonless and frightened
The gDmrip of fate had tightened
And with tremAbling hands they wiped away the sDmteamA  Dm  A  
They saw a woman pleading
Stumbling, begging and retreating
Until she became the victim of her foe
And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence
Just the night wil only know
And every paFper ran the story
She was strDmipped of all her glory
And they tFold exactly how the woman dAied
AbaDmndoned and forsaken
Too mDmany pills were taken
And they ruAled the woman's death as suDmicidAeDm  A  
Bound by their behavior
They could have been her savior
Now guilt becomes the endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
And it's never been admitted
Have the guilty been acquitted
Lord, the night will only know

Night Will Only Know

by Garth Brooks

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Chords in this song · guitar

That night will live forever

Their first time to lie together

A Dm

They were finally where desire dared them to go

Both belonging to another

But longing to be lovers

A Dm

Promising each other that the night will only know

Parked on some old backstreet

They laid down in the back seat

And fell into the fire down below

But they would pay for their deceiving

For a deadly web was weaving

Why they'd picked that spot that evening

Lord, the night will only know

Well within the innuendos

Just outside the steamy windows

F A

The night was shattered by a woman's scream

Motionless and frightened

The grip of fate had tightened

A Dm A Dm A

And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam

They saw a woman pleading

Stumbling, begging and retreating

Until she became the victim of her foe

And they watched her fall in silence

To save their own alliance

But the reason for the violence

Just the night wil only know

And every paper ran the story

She was stripped of all her glory

F A

And they told exactly how the woman died

Abandoned and forsaken

Too many pills were taken

A Dm A Dm A

And they ruled the woman's death as suicide

Bound by their behavior

They could have been her savior

Now guilt becomes the endless debt they owe

But another crime was committed

And it's never been admitted

Have the guilty been acquitted

Lord, the night will only know
