INTRO



            F                    Csus 
Long legged shadows, Mississippi sunset,
                        Dm                      Bb(add9)
She was standing like a candle that hadn't been burned yet. 
             F                   Csus
The wind was blowing clouds like ashes, 
                  Dm7                     Bb(add9)
Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches. 
F                             Dm
I can see those cotton sheets dancin', 
Bb                               C
On her momma's clothesline in my head. 
F                               Dm7
From my lips a lucky strike was danglin', 
    Bb                        C
The day was dying in a sea of red.



              Dm              Bb
Then came the night, warm and dark,
             F                 C
Draggin' its chains across our hearts.
             Dm7                 Bb
The moon was full, the grass was wet,
          F                 C 
Making us scream, making us sweat.
           Dm                            Bb(add9)
Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right,
              F      Csus
Then came the night.


 
            F                    Csus
There was a time when love was a flower,
           Dm7                         Bb(add9)
Now it's a vine that's climbin' up the tower.
                   F              Csus
And the river just rolls past the garden,
                 Dm                     Bb
Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened.
F                               Dm7
I can see that tired white flag flying,
Bb                            C
I can hear that ringing mission bell.
F                               Dm7
Telling of the innocence that's dying,
  Bb                          Csus  C 
A sound that I remember oh so well.


 
              Dm              Bb
Then came the night, warm and dark,
             F                 C
Draggin' its chains across our hearts.
             Dm7                 Bb
The moon was full, the grass was wet,
          F                 C
Making us scream, making us sweat.
          Dm               Bb
Making us cling, making us claw,
          F               C
Making us rise, making us fall.
          Dm              Bb 
Breath on breath, skin on skin,
         F           C
Can't go back there again.
           Dm7                           Bb(add9)
Holding on tight... it was wrong, it was right,
              F     Csus
Then came the night.
                    Dm     Bb(add9)
Yeah, then came the night.


              F      Csus
Then came the night,
         Dm    Bb
Oh yeah, yeah.
