Chords for Patti Smith sings " Because the Night" on Springsteen Tribute

_ _ _ _ _ Hello everybody.
Um, _ _ 1978, Bruce Springsteen gave me the opportunity [E] to write some lyrics for this song.
[G#] And, uh, I was [F#] able to express within it [C#] my feelings for my late husband, [A#] Fred Sonic Smith, the love of my [F#] life.
And so I am ever grateful [G#m] to Bruce for giving me that opportunity.
_ And when I sing it, and [E] I've sung it a million times, _ [F]
I always think of the composer as well as the muse.

_ [Bm] _ _ Take [G] me now, baby, [A] here [Bm] as I am.
Pull [G] me close to [B] him.
[Bm] Understand _ [G] desire is hard as [A] the [Bm] fire I breathe.
[G] Love is a baton [Bm] which we feed.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ Understand [A] _ _ [G] the evil they are [A] of _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] this land.
[C] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Because the night belongs [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] to [Bm] _ us.
Because [G] the night [A] belongs to us.
_ [G] _ _ _
[A] [Bm] I _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[B] _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] lie down when [Bm] I'm alone.
Love [G] is a ring _
[A] [Bm] that you're looking for.
[G] Love is an angel [Bm] disguised as glass.
He'll [G] not let you [A] to the morning [Bm] glass.
[G] I _ [A] _ _
[D] know the _ _ [G] way you're looking for.
[A] _ _ [G] Take my hand, we'll meet some other [A] time.
[C] Take me now, _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [F#] get up. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] Because the night _
[A] _ belongs to us.

[A] _ _ [Bm] _ I'm [D] gonna swim up.
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] I [D] can't feel [A] the _ [G] sea.
[D] It's hard [G] to feel the sea.
Take [Bm] me [D] now, take me now, [G] take me [F#] now. _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bm] Because [G] the night belongs to us.
Because the night belongs [A] to [Bm] us.
