Take the ribbon from my hair
                         C
Shake it lose and let it fall
Am                       D7
Laying soft against your skin

Like a shadow on the wall

Till the early morning light
Am                     D7
All I'm taking is your time

I won't try to understand

Let the devil take tomorrow

Cause tonight I need a friend

And tomorrow's out of sight
Am                 D7

Help me make it through the night
