[Intro]

A E D A

[Verse]

A
Can you give me something?
E
Tonight, I’m so alone
F#m                                                                              D
The moon is upside down, hanging on a telephone
A                                              E
But I remember every little bad dream
F#m                               D
Every pretty slow dance

[Pre-Chorus]

F#m                               D                               A                               E
So can I pick you up later? (When your temperature’s better)
F#m                               D                A                E
If you need a little shelter (Be your cool operator)
F#m                D                A                E
Keep it all quiet, yeah (Just a little longer)
F#m                D                A                               E
Let the night wind you down, baby, down

[Chorus]

A                                              E
And she smiles, how about that?
F#m                                                             D
I was just about to jump before you called me back
A                                              E
And you know the pain comes home
F#m                                                             D
And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I’m alone
A                                              E
And I’ve lost so much more than I ever had
F#m                                              D
Now my name is the night, honey,
A                E
color me black
D                A
C-color me black

[Verse]

A
Can I take you somewhere?
E
Would it make a difference?
F#m                               D
Like pretty roses on a deathbed
A                                              E
But I remember you in your white dress
F#m                               D
In your mama’s hands

[Pre-Chorus]

F#m                               D                               A                               E
So can I pick you up later? (When your temperature’s better)
F#m                D                A                               E
If you need a little shelter (Be your cool operator)
F#m                               D                A                E
Keep it all quiet, yeah (Just a little longer)
F#m                D                A                               E
Let the night wind us down, baby, down

[Chorus]

A                               E
And she smiles, how about that?
F#m                                              D
I was just about to jump before you called me back
A                                              E
And you know the pain comes home
F#m                                                             D
And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I’m alone
A                                              E
And I’ve lost so much more than I ever had
F#m                               D
Now my name is the night, honey,
A                E
color me black
D                A
C-color me black

[Bridge]

F#m                               D
And how long, how long
A                                                             E
until you believe that part of me is gone?
F#m                               D
With your sweet, naive kiss
A                               E
I used to feel the same until I let the darkness in
F#m                                              D
And it costs me nothing, baby, not nothing more than this
A                                              E
Nothing more than this useless heart in my chest
F#m                                              D
Nothing that I needed, nothing I regret
A                                              E
Nothing that I needed, and I’d do it all again
D                               A
I’d do it all again

[Chorus]

A                                              E
And she smiles, how about that?
F#m                                                             D
I was just about to jump before you called me back
A                               E
But you know the pain comes home
F#m                                                             D
And the whispers come to call me in my bed when I’m alone
A                                              E
Singing, “Ooh, not just yet”
F#m                                              D
When I go, I’ll be going out in flames and fiery reds
A                                              E
And the quiet to me, such an ominous sound
F#m                                              D
Said my name is the nighttime now
A                                                             E
Yes, the quiet to me, such an ominous sound
F#m                                                             D
And my name is the night, honey, color me black.
