[C] [Dm]
[C] [Dm]
Two [Am] souls caress [C] as hard as [Gm] steel, it's [F] soft as snow
[Gm] It's so [F]
unreal, her [Gm] [F] body feels [Bb] each [C] savage glow
[Dm] The [Am] pain has jeered, [C] the pain has gone, [Gm] but his [F] spirit's strong
[Gm] His [F] legacy, though, [Gm] is just [F] about [Bb] everything a mess [C] would read
The [Bb]
night cafe, oh, to [Am] reckon a madman's den
[Gm] Aching lights, [Am] aching heads, [F] he's looking up home, or [G] his place instead
The [F] night cafe,
[E]
[Dm] not [Am] another day, [C] his arrows [Gm] point so hard [F] to choose
What [Gm] color, [F]
black or white, [Gm] she goes [F] to the edge [Bb] of the cafe [C] at night
[G] [Dm] She [Am] knows [C] the night cafe [Gm] won't let [F] you go, [Gm]
won't let [F] you show your fear
[Gm]
Show [F] your heart, [Bb] somebody [C] might care
[Bb]
The night cafe's [Am] for knowing, knowing you're trying to feel
[Gm] Shabby [Am] clothes on heroes' pads, [F] a bottle on the table [G] might be your last
And [F] now you can't [F] flee

[Am] Yellow dog [C] shows his face, [Gm] but no [F]
one tells, [Gm] no [F]
one says
All [Gm] [F] they have left [Bb] is a [C] license to die
The [Dm] [E] [Am]

night cafe's for [Am] knowing, knowing it transfeers
