The Night

Am   Fmaj7   C   G


[Verse]
   Am                 Fmaj7
By Summer's end, I predict that I'll
    C                G
Have finally lost my mind
    Am                  Fmaj7
The Doctor he said that these new pills
    C                        G
Well they might help me this time
     Am                             Fmaj7
And I hope that's the case 'cause I feel I am wasting
    C               G
the one life that I have
    Am                        Fmaj7
The chances they come and the chances they go
        C                             G
But the time, well you can't get that back


[Chorus]
    Am                Fmaj7
And Johnnie called me late last night
      C                       G
And I told Mr. Walker just go home
    Am            Fmaj7
Why do the demons in my mind
C                       G
  Never wanna leave me alone

         Am                              Fmaj7
It's the pistol and the bottle, it's the drugs and it's the throttle
     C                            G
They tell me they'll make me feel alive
      Am                 Fmaj7
But I know good and well that ain't gonna help
         C           G                          Am
I'm just pray, praaaaying I make it through the night

    Fmaj7    C    G


[Verse]
          Am                       Fmaj7
Well I'd love to get to sleep but I can't get too deep
             C                        G
Though I'm doing the best that I can
   Am                       Fmaj7
My mind wants to talk about everything I'm not
     C                   G
Even worse, everything I am
Am                     Fmaj7
  I tell my friends and they tell me
     C                    G
that time will only do me well
    Am                             Fmaj7
But I won't shut my mouth, is it a rule down in the south
     C                                G
That you can't talk about your mental health


[Chorus]
    Am                Fmaj7
And Johnnie called me late last night
        C                       G
Well, I told Mr. Walker just go home
    Am            F
Why do the demons in my mind
C                       G
  Never wanna leave me alone

         Am                              Fmaj7
It's the pistol and the bottle, it's the drugs and it's the throttle
     C                            G
They tell me they'll make me feel alive
      Am                 Fmaj7
But I know good and well that ain't gonna help
         C           G                          Fmaj7
I'm just pray, praaaaying I make it through the night


[Bridge]
    Am    G     G

Fmaj7   C     G     G


[Chorus]
     Am                Fmaj7
Well Johnnie called me late last night
      C                       G
And I told Mr. Walker just go home
    Am            Fmaj7
Why do the demons in my mind
C                      G
  Never wanna leave me alone

         Am                              Fmaj7
It's the pistol and the bottle, it's the drugs and it's the throttle
     C                            G
They tell me they'll make me feel alive
      Am                 Fmaj7
But I know good and well that ain't gonna help
         C           G                          Fmaj7
I'm just pray, praaaaying I make it through the night


[Otro]
Am    C           G                          Am
        I'm praaaaying I make it through the night
