[Verse 1]

Don't talk to her when shooting stars are falling

Don't talk to her when she can smell the jasmine in the air

Don't talk to her when no one knows you're calling

'Cause you might just say the words that keep her waiting there
[Verse 2]

Don't talk to her when she is softly sleeping

Don't tell her all the secrets you've heen keeping

Don't tell her that you're drowning in a river of shame
[Chorus]

When the wolf is howling
C G/B
Underneath the moon
C G/B
Underneath the window
C G/B
Of a hotel room

Burn the blanket
C G/B
Shoot the light
C F C C2 C F
But don't talk to her at night
[Verse 3]
C C2
Don't talk to her in thunder or in lightning
C C2 F(2) C
Don't talk to her with fuses blown and wires falling down
G G6 C C2
Don't talk to her when the fever is frightening
G F
When she's burning in the bedroom in an evening gown
[Chorus]
F2 G/B
Or when the wolf is howling
C G/B
Underneath the moon
C G/B
Underneath the window
C G/B
Of a hotel room
C G/B
Burn the blanket
C G/B
Shoot the light
C F C C2
But don't talk to her at night
C F C C2 C F
Don't talk to her at night.
