...and put some subtly but ballsy vibrato on the 4th fret notes.
[Intro]
F#m C#m
[Verse]
F#m C#m
Oh, the night is my world
F#m C#m
City light painted girl
E Bm
In the day nothing matters
D A
It's the night time that flatters
F#m C#m
In the night, no control
F#m C#m
Through the wall something's breaking
E Bm
Wearing white as you're walkin'
D A
Down the street of my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You got me livin' only for the night
E Bm
Before the morning comes, the story's told
D A
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
Another night, another day goes by
F#m C#m
I never stop myself to wonder why
E Bm
You help me to forget to play my role
D A
You take my self, you take my self control
[Chorus]
F#m C#m F#m
I, I live among the creatures of the night
C#m E
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Bm D
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
A
That tomorrow never comes
F#m C#m F#m
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
C#m E
I know the night is not as it would seem
Bm D
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
A
That this night will never go
[Bridge]
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse]
F#m C#m
Oh, the night is my world
F#m C#m
City light painted girl
E Bm
In the day nothing matters
D A
It's the night time that flatters
[Chorus]
F#m C#m F#m
I, I live among the creatures of the night
C#m E
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Bm D
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
A
That tomorrow never knows
F#m C#m F#m
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
C#m E
I know the night is not as it would seem
Bm D
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
A
That this night will never go
[Outro]
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control
F#m C#m
You take my self, you take my self control [fade out]
