Lucy Kaplansky - Ten Year Night


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G G/F# Em C G G/F# C  (2x)

G        G/F#
There is no one else around
  Em        C
The road is quiet the only sound
  G           G/F#         C
Is wind that sounds like cars, that sound like breathing

G         G/F#
The desert air is hot and dry
Em        C
Two lanes weaving earth and sky
  G          G/F#    C
The stars are all that's keeping time 'til morning


   G        G/F#
And I turn and look beside me
      Em       C
And you're sleeping like a baby
    G        G/F#        C
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying


    G    G/F#
And the way you look tonight
Em         C
Fast asleep in the dashboard light
    G     G/F# C
Well, I can't speak,   that's how I feel


CHORUS: G
     Bm        C      D  G
Open your eyes and look at me, look at me
     Bm C      D  Em
Open your eyes and look at me
     C    G     D    Em
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
 C       G    D    Em
Before ere this ten year night is through
      D
I'm telling you
       G G/F#  Em
Take it from me
C      G  G/F# C
Take it from me


G            G/F#
We're ten years older, I know we are
     Em          C
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
  G         G/F#     C
You thought I was some kind of star, that's what you said


 G         G/F#
I felt your skin, I felt the heat
    Em       C
As you pulled me out into the street
    G          G/F#     C
And you kissed me there 'til I  was weak, 'cause I asked you to


G         G/F#
Later on, on your kitchen floor
Em          C
Two flights above the grocery store
 G          G/F#    C
I felt things I never felt before, and I still do


CHORUS: G
     Bm        C      D  G
Open your eyes and look at me, look at me
     Bm C      D  Em
Open your eyes and look at me
     C    G     D    Em
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
 C       G    D    Em
Before ere this ten year night is through
      D
I'm telling you
       G G/F#  Em
Take it from me
C      G  G/F# C
Take it from me


BRIDGE:
          G    Em
Going eighty on the highway
         D     C
We're all rushing somewhere
       G       Em
But the way I feel tonight
       D    Em
It's like I'm already there


CHORUS: G
     Bm        C       D  G
Open your eyes and look at me and look at me
     Bm C         D         Em
Open your eyes, oh, and look at me and look at me
     C    G     D    Em
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
 C       G    D    Em
Before ere this ten year night is through
      D
I'm telling you, telling you
       G G/F#  Em
Take it from me
C      G  G/F# C
Take it from me
C      G  G/F# C
Take it from me
C      G
Take it from me
