     This night will

Verse 1:
E minorEm B5B5 G+G    D5D5
fall  like any other,
E minorEm  B5B5    G+G     D5D5   E minorEm  B5B5 G+G    D5D5
 Daylight subsides and shadows crawl  out from under,
Cadd9Cadd9     Dsus2Dsus2       E minorEm  B5B5 G+G   D5D5
Black corners hiding something, stars, all so restless,
E minorEm  B5B5      G+G  D5D5
 Cracked windows open wide
E minorEm    B5B5   G+G      D5D5
Dead-bolt turns, doors creak open,
Cadd9Cadd9     Dsus2Dsus2       E minorEm
With stars and moonlight there to guide.

Chorus:
E minorEm               Cadd9Cadd9
Come raise your lantern to the sky,
    D MajorD        E minorEm
Can we illuminate this night?
                  Cadd9Cadd9
We'll dance like heathens 'round a flame,
        D MajorD       E minorEm  B5B5 G+G D5D5
While the world sleeps we are awake.

E minorEm B5B5 G+G

Verse 2:
        E minorEm  B5B5  G+G    D5D5
The black bird calls, it sings a chorus,
E minorEm   B5B5     G+G    D5D5       E minorEm B5B5 G+G    D5D5
 While the cavalry swells, the flames grow tall  right before us.
Cadd9Cadd9      Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm   B5B5   G+G   D5D5
 As drums keep pounding and the masses now are fusing,
E minorEm   B5B5     G+G   D5D5
Bodies pressed and tangled,
   E minorEm  B5B5  G5G5   D5D5
As we revel in confusion,
  Cadd9Cadd9    Dsus2Dsus2
Our inhibitions thrown into the fire.

Chorus:
E minorEm               Cadd9Cadd9

    D MajorD        E minorEm
Can we illuminate this night?
                  Cadd9Cadd9
We'll dance like heathens 'round a flame,
        D MajorD       E minorEm
While the world sleeps we are awake.

 Here in the dark we are safe from the judgement,
D5D5 A augmentedA         D5D5  G+G     D MajorD
   Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in
E minorEm         D5D5 E7E7
The Heaven-sent say: "child, you are hellbent"
D5D5 A augmentedA              G+G   Dsus2Dsus2       E minorEm E minor 7Em7 E minorEm
  But Hell is not where we're going, Hell's where we've been
