Intro: Bm, G, A, Bm, G, A, Bm

Verse:

Bm      G          A         Bm
Take me now, baby, here as I am.
	G	      A    Bm
Pull me close try and understand.
	  G		 A      Bm
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
	  G	     A        Bm
Love is a banquet on which we feed.
G       A            D    A
Come on now, try and understand
    Bm    G                     A
the way I feel when I'm in your hand.
D       G                A
Take my hand; come under cover.
     C                   Bm		     Gb
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.


Chorus:

Bm      G                 A
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Bm      G                 A  Bm
Because the night belongs to lust.
        G                 A
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Bm      G		  A  Bm
Because the night belongs to us.


Second Verse:

Have I doubt when I'm alone?
Love is a ring on the telephone.
Love is an angel disguised as lust,
here in our bed until the morning comes.
Come on now, try and understand
the way I feel under your command.
Take my hand as the sun descends.
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.

Repeat Chorus

Ending:

     D    A    	    D	       A      		   Bm   A
With love we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turn and turns.
D	A	     Bm    A	   D        A
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
    G     D	   G
I believe in time, too real to feel,
   Bm		 D	       G              Gb
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.

Repeat Chorus and fade.

THIS AIN’T A SCENE
IT’S A

Instead of the dreaded ‘E’ chord, I used e 7 so there wouldn’t be an awkward pause between Am and the other…….It works for me, it sounds basically the same but just easier to transition

OH MY G- I LOVE THIS SONG *headbangs into wall*

Heythatsprettygood

No! Why would you do that ‘truelivesofthefaboulousphangirls’?!? It doesn’t sound right.

Kat In The Hat

The way I like to sing it works well with either -5 or even +5

mcasper96

I did the same thing before reading the comments and maybe they did it because E is absolutely impossible to play?!?! It does sound better in my opinion, but you do you ‘Heythatsprettygood’.

Danielle

E7 works best for this song

Anyone know the strumming pattern?

Oli

I’m afraid you got some if the lyrics wrong, instead of “god damn arms race” its “gah dah ah rah” *haha kill me*

Patricia Lee “Patti” Smith (born December 30, 1946) is an American singer, poet and visual artist who was a highly influential component of the New York punk rock movement, particularly with her 1975 début album ‘Horses’. Called the “Godmother of Punk”, she integrated the beat poetry performance style with three-chord rock. Smith’s most widely known song is “Because the Night”, which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1978.
