Verse 1

D(mute)                     D
Take the ribbon from your hair
                          G
shake it loose and let it fall
                      A
layin' soft upon my skin
                          D
like the shadows on the wall.

Verse 2

D(mute)                   D
Come and lay down by my side
                         G
'till the early morning light
                         A
all i'm taking is your time
                             D
help me make it through the night.

Verse 3

D(mute)                D
Yesterday is dead and gone
                       G
and tomorrow's out of sight
                     A
and it's sad to be alone
                             D
help me make it through the night.

Chorus

D                            G
I don't care who's right or wrong
                     D
i don't try to understand
                     E
let the devil take tomorrow
                        A
Lord, tonight i need a friend.
