Intro: G, Em x2

G                      Em
One short night with a stranger

G                     Em
One full moon over my head

G                       Em
One false move and it's over

      C                       Em
And I always think of what we said

           G  Em x2
My baby 

G                    Em
Strange how heavy my heart is

G                      Em
Strange how dark it is tonight

G                        Em
Strange the way this all started

  C                                   Em
I guess I'm losing track of wrong and right

                     C                    G
And as the lights go down I lie down with him

                  C                           Em
And as I'm layin' there I can only smell your hair


C                                          Em
It's like you're across the hall with your ear glued to the wall

   G                              D
And as I move to let him in I can feel you crawl under my skin

          G
And I can feel you from the inside

Em                                     D
Prowlin' like devil that I'm tryin' to hide

C Em Am       G                       Em                           D
I         can feel your heart beating closer than the poison of my pride

C Em Am
I                   

G  Em x2

Am                                   Em
Caught up in the moment I thought I'd feel no shame

         Am                                     Em
Because I didn't have to tell you lies when the daylight came

        C                           G
But now, down goes that silver tear, down goes my golden year

Am                C
Down they go in a water slide

       Am              D                   
that's made of all the tears I've cried


          G
And I can feel you from the inside

Em                                     D
Prowlin' like devil that I'm tryin' to hide

C Em Am       G                       Em                           D
I         can feel your heart beating closer than the poison of my pride

C Em Am       G                      Em                             D
I         can feel you touchin' me I look at him but it's you I see babe

C Em Am       G                       Em                           D
I         can feel your heart beating closer than the poison of my pride

C Em Am
I

G   Em             G            
         One short night

G   Em             G            
         One short night

Em   G   Em   G



*Note: Some of the D's are interchangeable with Am's in phrases ending in 'hide' and 'pride.' 
It sounds good to add the pinky to the high E string on the 3rd fret
when you play the D for a few strums, that's how Grace plays it live.
