Tom: G
G
[Verse 1]
G Em C
When I was a child
C Em G D
I made a deal against the sun
G Em C
That if it died out
C Em G D
That I would carry on
[Bridge 1]
D D
So you can feel and you can see
D
That it's all real
Am C
And you won't have to cry
[Chorus 1]
G Em C
I'll be the night
Em G D
Let your systems all transpire
G Em C
Let them soak up the light
Em G D
Then dash them on the fire
[Bridge 2]
D D
And in the flames of your streets
D D
Children will be laughing at your feet
Am C
And I will be gone
[Verse 2]
G Em C
No one owes you any favours
Em G D
They only owe you wine
G Em C
And a fruitless search for saviours
Em G D
Will leave nothing inside
G Em C
I'm married to the sky
Em G D
I'm a servant of the hour
G Em C
I'm open as time
Em G D
And I'm perfect without power
[Chorus 2]
G Em C
And I will carry your death
Em G D
And I will speak your final words
G Em C
I will draw your final breath
Em G D
So that it will be heard
[Bridge 3]
D D D
Above the sound of your empires tumbling down
D D
Until you're memorised by the ground
Am C
In the bitterness of the end
[Verse 3]
G Em C
Oh I pray you're never lonely
Em G D
And that leads you all to love
G Em C
I pray you're never empty
Em G D
But cannot fathom the Above
G Em C
I pray for your children
Em G D
That their wishes be understood
G Em C
By their masters and their minds
Em G D
And are not buried in the flood
[Outro]
D
Of others' dreams
D
And others' schemes
D
And others' teams
Am C
Which should be left alone
G Em C
Then I'll be the night
G Em C
I'll be the night
G Em C
I'll be the night
G Em C
I'll be the night
