[Gm] [Ab]
[Bb] I want to dedicate this song to all the lovers of night [Gm] and [Eb]
[Ab] I expect that might be the whole
world because everybody needs [Bb] something or someone to love.
[Eb]
[Ab] When it's cold [Bb] outside, who are you holding?
[Gm]
[Ab]
[Bb] You know, if [Cm] y'all don't mind, I'd like [Ab] to talk about this woman of mine.
[Eb] She's always [Bb] complaining about me never being at home, but [Gm]
[Ab] when I'm bad, I'm broke.
[Cm] [F] She's telling me about the things that her girlfriend's got, what she ain't got.
I just want me to go out and get [Fm] them for her, but [Ab] girl, I can't be in [Fm] two places at one [Ab] time.
If you think you [Bb] own it now, [Gm] wait until [Ab] tonight, girl.
[Bb]
I've flown, gone, [Gm] and [Ab] you'll never find another man that'll treat you right.
[Bb]
When I ain't there [Gm] to rub your back, [Ab] just remember my baby's known facts.
[F] And the sky looks full out of a closet, I chase you all around your [Fm] room.
And the memories sell out like a [Bbm] gold, and they're surrounding a [Eb] fast flow tune.
[Ab] If you think you own it [Bb] now,
[Gm] [Cm] wait until [Ab] tonight.
I'll be [Bb] long gone, and [Eb] you'll never find another [Ab] man that'll treat you right.
[Bb] If you think you own it now, wait, [Ab] wait, until the day that the [F] rain will stop.
But baby, [Cm] I'm going [Fm] away, but when love won't last, the rain won't last, better for a day.
[Ab] Oh, I [Bb] feel [Gm] like I [Ab] want to testify.
[Bb] Girl, [Gm] wait [Ab] until tonight.
If you think you own [Bb] it, own it, own it now.
[Gm] Oh, [Ab] you just wait until the night, girl.
[Bb] [Cm]
[Ab] [F] You see, the night's when the deeds come out, when the deeds come out the [Ab] crease.
And the toes that snow where you can [Cm] sleep.
[Ab] [Bb] If you think you own it now, wait [Eb] until [Ab] tonight.
I feel like I want to testify.
But [Bb] I know I gotta leave this on, girl, [Gm] I just can't take no more.
[Ab]
[Cm] [Bb] No, no, you just [Ab] wait.
[Cm] [Bb] You think you got problems now, baby, you just wait.
[Gm] Wait. Wait.
[Ab]
[Bb]
Too far gone.
Backing [Eb] up now.
[Ab] [Bb] Woo, woo, woo, baby.
[Eb] [Ab]
[Cm] You say you're a little lonely.
[Bb] But everybody needs somebody to love.
[Eb] [Ab]
It's good that you know [Bb] that you got somebody that'll stand by your side, that'll build you up when [Eb] you're falling down.
[Cm]
And you heard [Ab] that somewhere, lady.
[Bb]
Cause I've done my time.
[Eb] [Ab] And it's yours, mine now.
If you think [Bb] you love, [Eb] wait, [Ab] wait until tonight.
[Bb] I'm tired.
[Gm] I'm tired of this thing all [Ab] chugging down.
It's been too long, [Bb] thinking you're starting over again.
[Gm] It's been too long, [Cm] you're starting over [Ab] again.
[Bb]
