Before The Night Falls

B                              E
Charlie asked the girl why her skin 
was glowing,
G#m                               
asked her where she’d been and 
   E
where she was going.
    F#
Her reply was succinct and just 
dripping with ink.
    B                           E
She left him tongue-tied, oh so weak
 and flustered
   G#m                       E
as she - with all the apathy that 
she could muster -
F#
said “To Hell. Are you coming 
angel?”


[Chorus]
      E                    Em
Let’s live out scenes from movie 
screens
         B           D#m      G#m
from our cheap seats onto the 
          F#
dance floor.
      E
We’ll hotbox old cars,
Em                          B
drive ‘em just as far as we can
  D#m       G#m        F#       E
before the night falls to its knees.
      Em                         B
There ain’t nothing here left for 
me.
           E             Em       
Just for tonight, we can be all 
              F#
that we want to be.


[Verse]
B                         E
Charlie said “Hey baby, I got no 
money,
        G#m                    
I’m not going anywhere but I’ll 
       E
still take you honey.

      F#
Let’s run to the shore, I don’t 
wanna stay here no more.”
      B                            
Christ, it seems I’m cursed to live
 E
 by the moonlight.
   G#m                         F#
It means I see the dawn before any 
of you might.
                          G#m      
Oh, let me go, I’d rather drown 
       E
than just float.

    B
I’m out of luck. Time won’t slow
    B
I’m on the slab… so it goes!
   E
Oh comfort, I was never sold.
    F#
The night is still young but the 
story’s so old.
      B
We’re out of time. Don’t you know
      B
we’ve nothing left once blood runs 
cold?
      E
We’ll live on through the stories 
told.
    F#                          B
The night’s on its knees oh but I 
can’t go home…
