_ _ _ Take me now, [B] baby, here as [Bm] I am Pull me [G] close, try and [Bm] understand
_ _ Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe Love [G] is a banquet [B] on which we [Bm] feed
[G] So [A] I'm now [D] trying to _ [A] understand [Bm] The way I [G] see you when I'm in [A] your head
[G] Take my hand from under [C] cover It can't hurt you now, [Bm] can't hurt you now
[F#] Can't hurt you now _ _ _
[Bm] Because my night belongs [A] to the lover Because [G] my night [A] belongs to [Bm] the light
Because [G] my night belongs [A] to the lover Because my night [A] belongs to [Bm] the white
How [G] about now [A] when I'm alone [G] Love is the ring, the [Bm] telephone
_ Love is [G] an angel [Bm] disguised as lust Here [G] in our bed until the morning [Bm] _
comes
[G] Come on [A] now, [D] try and [A] understand [Bm] The way I [G] feel under your [A] command
[D] Take my hand as you come [A] down [C] It can't hurt you now, [Bm] can't hurt you [F#] now
Can't hurt you [F#] now _
_ _ [G] Because my night [A] belongs to the lover Because [G] my night belongs [Bm] to the light
[G] Because my night [A] belongs to the lover [Bm] Because [G] my night belongs to the white

_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ And [A] love is [D] _
[A] without the vicious [Bm] circles [A] And [D] burns [A] without your [Bm] love
And [A] let's forget [D] the yearning But [G] I believe [D] it's [G] time for real to see [B] us
But kiss [C#] me now, [D] kiss me now, [G] kiss me _ [F#] now
_ _ [Bm] _ [G] Because my night [A] belongs to the lover [Bm] Because [G] my night belongs [Bm] to the light
Because [G] my night [A] belongs to the lover [G] _ Because my night belongs [Bm] to the white
[G] Because my night [A] belongs to the lover [G] Because my night _ [B] belongs to the light
[G] Because my night belongs [A] to the lover [G] Because my night belongs to the light
Because my night belongs [A] to the lover Because my night belongs [B] to the light
[G] Because my night [A] belongs to the lover
