[C]
[G]
I came by myself [F] to a very crowded [C] place.
[G]
I was looking for someone [F] who had lines [C] in her face.
I found her there, but [F] she was past all concern.
[C]
I asked her [F] to hold me.
[Dm]
I said, Lady, unfold me.
[C] But she scorned me, [F] and she told me [G] I was dead and I could never [C]
return.
[G] Well, I argued all night [F] like so many [C] have before, [G] saying, whatever you give me [F] seemed
to need so [C] much more.
Then she pointed at me, [F]
her floor.
[C] She said, don't [F] try to use [Dm] me or slyly refuse [C] me.
Just [F] win me or lose me.
[G] It is this that the darkness [C]
is for.
[G] I cried, oh Lady Midnight.
[F]
I fear [C] that you grow old.
[G] The stars eat your body [F] and the wind [C] makes you cold.
If we cry now, she said, it [F] will just be ignored.
[C] So I walked through [F] the morning.
[Dm] Sweet early morning, [C] I could hear my [F] Lady calling.
[G] You've won me, you've won me, [C] my Lord.
[G] You've won me, you've won [C] me, my Lord.
[G] Yes, you've won me, you've won me, [C] my Lord.
[G] I've won you, you've won [C]
[G] me.
[C] [G]
