Intro: Asus#4 Abm B Gb

Verse 1:
Asus#4               Abm              B               Gb
       There's a deal    you can make   on a midnight walk alone
Asus#4             Abm               Gb
       Look around,    listen close, hear it fall from above
Asus#4          Abm                 B                            Gb
    It will ask     what you'd give   and what you'd take for it in return
Asus#4          Abm          Gb                     B
    I once went on such walk  and I found that I'd said

Verse 2:
B      Gb         B         Abm
I want someone to take this soul
  B             Abm      B                   Abm
I can't bear to keep it, I'd give it just to give
    B          Eb    E            Dbm  B
And all I will take are the consequences
B        Gb    B
Will somebody take this soul?

Interlude: Asus#4 Abm Gb B

Verse 3:
Asus#4                Abm                 B                       Gb
       Then, of course,   nothing replied,  nothing speaks to you in the night
Asus#4              Abm           Gb
       And I walked   my way home,  there was no one in sight
Asus#4             Abm              B                Gb
       Save a bird     perched upon   a streetlight, watchin' me
Asus#4              Abm               Gb                      B
       So I stopped   and let it watch  'til I found that it said

Bridge:
B       Gb          B        Abm
Now I'm taken, the night has me
     B         Gb                    B           Abm
You won't hear me singin', you're a cage without me
B            Eb         E              Dbm     B
Your pain is eased but you'll never be free, for
B       Gb          B
Now I'm taken, the night has me

Outro: Asus#4 Abm Gb B

Asus#4           Abm         B   Gb
   There's a deal    that I made
Asus#4           Abm         B   Gb
   There's a deal    that I made
Asus#4           Abm         B   Gb
   There's a deal    that I made
Asus#4           Abm  B  Gb
   There's a deal
