Cheat The Night

[Verse 1]
G                         G
The sun is going down now
Em                    Em
Sinking like my heart
G                                  
Nights are getting longer now that 
Em          D
we're apart
C                         Am     
Darkness is a prison that holds 
                Em
me with your memory
D      C
  This time I'm getting out
  Am                          D
Before it comes and turns the key


[Chorus]
                       Em
I'm going to cheat the night
          D
So, I can make it until the 
morning's light
          C     D  G
Cheat the night

G                            
So, I'm dusting off my courage 
  Em
painting on a smile
      G                       Em  
Gonna try to find somebody to hold
               D
 me for awhile
C                       Am       
I don't need the moon reminding 
              Em   D
me that you're gone
C                  Am            
Even if I'm lonely I’m not gonna 
    Dsus4 D
be alone


[Chorus]
                       Em
I'm going to cheat the night
          D
So, I can make it until the 
morning's light
          C     D  G G
Cheat the night

[Verse 3]
C                    Am          
Maybe if the evening finds me 
           Em  D
with somebody new
C                         Am     
I can make them think I'm finally
              Dsus4  D
 getting over you
                Em
I can cheat the night
          Dsus4               D
So, I can make them think I'm doing 
alright
          C     Dsus4  G
Cheat the night


[Chorus]
                   D    Em
I'm going to cheat the night
          D
So, I can make them think I'm doing 
alright
          C     D  G
Cheat the night


[Chorus]
                D   Em
I’m gonna cheat the night
          D
So, I can make it until the 
morning's light
          C     Dsus4  G
Cheat the night
