[Intro]
Asus#4 G#m B F#

[Verse 1]
Asus#4               G#m
       There's a deal
              B
you can make   on a midnight
   F#
 walk alone
Asus#4             G#m
       Look around,
               F#
listen close, hear
 it fall from above
Asus#4          G#m
    It will ask
                B
what you'd give   and what
                   F#
you'd take for it in return
Asus#4          G#m
    I once went on such walk
 F#                     B
 and I found that I'd said

[Verse 2]
B      F#         B
I want someone to take
      G#m
this soul
  B             G#m
I can't bear to keep it,
  B                   G#m
 I'd give it just to give
    B          D#    E
And all I will take are
           C#m  B
 the consequences
B        F#    B
Will somebody take this soul?

[Interlude]
Asus#4 G#m F# B

[Verse 3]
Asus#4                G#m
       Then, of course,
                 B
nothing replied,  nothing
                 F#
 speaks to you in the night
Asus#4              G#m
       And I walked   my
 way home,
 F#
  there was no one in sight
Asus#4             G#m
       Save a bird     perched
      B
 upon   a streetlight,
  F#
 watchin' me
Asus#4              G#m
       So I stopped   and
             F#
let it watch  'til I found
            B
that it said

[Bridge]
B       F#          B        G#m
Now I'm taken, the night has me
     B         F#
You won't hear me singin',
            B           G#m
you're a cage without me
B            D#         E
Your pain is eased but you'll
          C#m     B
 never be free, for
B       F#          B
Now I'm taken, the night has me

[Outro]
Asus#4 G#m F# B

Asus#4           G#m
   There's a deal
        B   F#
that I made
Asus#4           G#m
   There's a deal
         B   F#
that I made
Asus#4           G#m
   There's a deal
        B   F#
that I made
Asus#4
   There's a deal
G#m  B  F#
