[C#]
[F#] [C#] Oh, [F#m] the light is [C#m] my world City [F#] lights, [F#m] [C#m] painted girls
In [E] the day [Bm] nothing matters It's [D] the night, turn [A] up matters
In [F#m] the night, no [C#m] control Through [F#m] the walls, [C#m] something's breaking
[E] As [Bm] you're walking down [D] the street Of [A] my soul
[F#m] You take my soul, you [C#m] take my self-control
[F#m] You come here living [C#m] only for the light
[E] Before the morning [Bm] comes, the story's told [D] You take my soul, you [A] take my self-control
[F#] Another night, [C#m] another day goes by [F#m] I [F#] never stop [C#m] myself to wonder why
[E] You help me to forget [Bm] to play my role [A] You take my soul, you take my self-control
[F#m] Time, [C#m] I live among the creatures [F#m] of the night [C#m] I haven't got the will to [E] try and fight
[Bm] Against a new tomorrow [D] So I've decided to leave it
[A] But tomorrow never comes I [F#m] say night, [C#m] I'm living in the forest [F#m] of a dream
[C#m] I know the night is not as [E] it would seem [Bm] I must believe in something [D] so I'll make
myself believe it [A] This night will never go
[F#] [C#]
[F#] [E]
[G#] Oh, [F#m] the night is [C#m] my world City [F#m] lights, painted [C#m] girls
In [E] the day nothing [Bm] matters It's [D] the night, turn [A] up matters
[F#m] Time, I [C#m] live among the [F#m] creatures of the night I [C#m] haven't got the will to [E] try and fight
[Bm] Against a new tomorrow [D] So I've decided to leave it
[A] Tomorrow never knows I [F#m] say night, [C#m] I'm living in the forest [F#m] of a dream
[C#m] I know the night is not as [E] it would seem [Bm] I must believe in something [D] so I'll make
myself believe it [A] This night will never go
[F#] [C#]

[F#m] you take [C#m] my self-control
