Intro:
GCDG
G C
Take the ribbon from your hair. Shake it loose and let it fall
D G
Layin' soft against my skin, Like the shadows on the wall
(G) C
Come and lay down by my side, ‘til the early morning light
D G
All I'm taking is your time. Help me make it through the night
Chorus:
G C G
I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand
A D
Let the devil take tomorrow for tonight I need a friend
G C
Yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrow's out of sight
D G
And it's bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night (Chorus)
(Optional Instrumental)
G C
Yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrow's out of sight
D G
And it's bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night
(Final Chorus)
