Words & Music by Chris de Burgh

G (320003@1)                         
Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 Am (x02210@1)                          DI (xx0232@1)think I've gone and made my big mistake,
G (320003@1)                  EmI (022000@1)took her swimming, we had a fight,
         Am (x02210@1)                         DNow (xx0232@1)my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,
        C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)  D/F# (200232@1)    Em (022000@1) Em/DAnd (010000@1)it looks like I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
C (x32010@1)       D (xx0232@1)              EmUnder (022000@1)the moon and the stars,

Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
 If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,
 To tell her how, the way things are,
 With a long conversation in the back of a car,

And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Under the moon and the stars,
 Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,
 Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

G- (320003@1)C- (x32010@1)G- (320003@1)D- (xx0232@1)G- (320003@1)C- (x32010@1)G- (320003@1)D- (xx0232@1)C- (x32010@1)G- (320003@1)D- (xx0232@1)Em- (022000@1)C- (x32010@1)D- (xx0232@1)GOh,---------------------------------------------------------- (320003@1)B (x2444x@1)                                
I think she owes me an explanation,
EmShe's (022000@1)got the whip hand in this situation,
   A (x02220@1)                        
If I try to tell her just the way I feel,
        DIt (xx0232@1)could start the whole thing all over again,

C (x32010@1)          D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)    D/F# (200232@1)   EmOoh, (022000@1)I think I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
C (x32010@1)        D (xx0232@1)             EmUnder (022000@1)the moon and the stars,
C (x32010@1)           D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)   D/F# (200232@1)     EmCould (022000@1)be I'm heading for a night on__ the river,
    C (x32010@1)       G/B (143121@7)             Am (x02210@1)     D (xx0232@1)     GBut (320003@1)I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,
Under the moon and the stars,
Could be we're heading for a mm-mm
Just you and me and our beating hearts,
We're singing in the dark...
