[Verse 1]
Am Am F/A
| | |
Look out across the fields, see me returning
Am F
Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile
F Am
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning
C E
You’ve had time to think about it for a while
Am Am
Well, I’ve walked two hundred miles, look me over
Am F
It’s the end of the chase and the moon is high
F
It won’t matter who loves who
G Am F
| | |
You’ll love me or I’ll love you
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F Am F Am F
| | | | |
When the night comes falling from the sky
[Verse 2]
Am Am
I can see through your walls and I know you’re hurting
Am F
Sorrow covers you up like a cape
F Am
Only yesterday I know that you’ve been flirting
C E
With disaster that you managed to escape
Am Am
I can’t provide for you no easy answers
Am F
Who are you that I should have to lie?
F
You’ll know all about it, love
G Am F
| | |
It’ll fit you like a glove
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F Am F

When the night comes falling from the sky

[Verse 3]
Am Am
I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river
Am F
You must have been protecting someone last time I called.
F Am
I’ve never asked you for nothing you couldn’t deliver
C E
I’ve never asked you to set yourself up for a fall
Am Am
I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness
Am F
For the love of a lousy buck, I’ve watched them die
F
Stick around, baby, we’re not through
G Am F
| | |
Don’t look for me, I’ll see you
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F
When the night comes falling

When the night comes falling from the sky
[Verse 4]
Am Am
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection
Am F
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line
F Am
I don’t want to be a fool starving for affection
C E
I don’t want to drown in someone else’s wine
Am Am
For all eternity I think I will remember
Am F
That icy wind that’s howling in your eye
F
You will seek me and you’ll find ...
G Am F
| | |
Me in the wasteland of your mind
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F Am F

When the night comes falling from the sky
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Am Am
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
Am F
But you were gambling for support
F Am
This time tomorrow I’ll know you better
C E
When my memory is not so short
Am Am
This time I’m asking for freedom
Am F
Freedom from a world which you deny
F
And you’ll give it to me now
G Am F
| | |
I’ll take it anyhow
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F
When the night comes falling
Am F Am F Am F
| | | | |
When the night comes falling from the sky
[Outro]
