Chords for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Slowly Goes the Night

[Eb] _ _ _ Darling, that morning [Dm] you chose to go, I [G] awoke to my boots and [Eb]
clothes.
You had taken my car, stolen [Bb] my cash, given my $500 _ [Eb] super slash.
And I just lay there [Bb] watching the sun fall down from the sky,
[Eb] not wanting to open the letter, but open it at any rate [Dm] and see in those [Gm] two [Bb] words,
_ [Eb] lover, lover, goodbye.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ So slowly [Eb] goes the night.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ Next [Cm] to me lies your _ body playing [F] with a map of some _ forbidden [Eb] land.
I [Bb] trace [Eb] the ghost of your [Cm] [Bb] bones with my trembling _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] hand.
_ _ _ _ _ Dark is [Cm] my night _ and darker is [Fm]
my _ _ _ day.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ I _ must have [Ab] been blind, I [Bb] had it in my mind, I never, [Gm] never saw the [Ab] warning _ _ sign. _
_ [Fm] _ How goes it?
[Gm] It goes a long way.
[D] It goes _ _ slowly.
_ _ _ _ _ As all slowly [Eb] goes the _ night, _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ a ten lonely days, [Eb] a ten lonely _ _ _ nights.
[Bb] Come, _ _ _ I'll watch [Cm] the moon get [Eb] grey each night [F] until the moon becomes the skin in [Eb] night.
[Bb] The [Eb] skins of my sins I [Bb] send to cover and [Eb] comfort _
_ [Fm] you. _ _ _ _
I'm over [C] here, _ but [Cm] honey, I'm not [Fm] over here. _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ I hang [Ab] on my head, I toss [Bb] in my bed, I never, [Gm] never forget the words [Ab] you're _ _ saying.
_ _ [Fm] One evening _ [Gm] I'm leaving [D] and I left and checked your breathing.
I said, darling, I'll go slowly through [Eb] the _ night.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Oh baby, I [Eb] feel the feeling come.
_ _ [Bb] And it hurts. _
_ I wait [Cm] to find you sitting in my bed,
[F] trying to take those out of [Eb] your head.
[Bb] I'm singing a [Eb] song, that's all wrong, hey, but [Bb] that's what I like.
I [F] don't care.
[Cm] _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ Long, [Cm] long time ago, all your [Fm] misery. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Yeah. _ _
_ I [Ab] retired grace [Bb] and empty space, a song that [Gm] slowly, [Ab] slowly _ _ _ _ fades.
_ [Fm]
Where goes it?
[Gm] It goes some place.
It [D] goes somewhere with no place.
_ _ _ Now black [Eb] as the night.
_ _ _ [Bb] Oh, _ _ _ come on.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ That's what things [Bb]
ride, what things ride.
I hang [Cm]
my head and cry, cry, [F] cry.
Darling, _ all night I [Eb] try.
[Bb] I see [Eb] that I risen [Cm] for [Bb] this, make me a [F] season.
_ _ [Fm] _
_ _ And I stay up [Cm] so long, I can't remember being [Fm] _
_ _ alive.
[Cm] _ [Fm] Call [Cm] it sleep, call it death, call it what [Fm] you _ _ _ _ like.
But I'm listening, [Cm] _ all this sleep brings you back [Fm] to _ _ life. _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ Yeah.
_ I hang [Ab] my head, I toss [Bb] and I sweat.
I never, never, never [Gm] can [Ab] forget. _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] How goes it?
[Gm] Well, I'm going.
[D] It will slowly, slowly go.
And we both know that it's gonna be [Gm] _ alright. _ _
_ Well, _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ ain't [Eb] neither of us gonna cry, cry, _ _ [Bb] cry. _ _
Mmm, my damn [Eb] lonely days and [Bb] _ lonely _ nights. _ _
_ _ Ah, since [Eb] you left my side, _ [Bb] side, _ side. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
