G

Verse 1:

                        G                              C
Take the ribbon from my hair, shake it lose and let it fall.
                         D                          G
Laying soft against your skin, like a shadow on the wall.

Verse 2:

G                                                      C
 Come and lay down by my side, 'till the early morning light.
                       D                     G
All I'm takin' is your time; help me make it through the night.

Chorus 1:

                           C                          G
I dont care whats right or wrong; I wont try to under-stand.
                      A7                            D7
Let the devil take to-morrow, 'cos tonight I need a friend.

Verse 3:

(n.C)                  G                          C
 Yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrows out of sight.
                    D                     G
And its sad to be a-lone; help me make it through the night.
