The sky is dark
A augmentedA
The wind is cold
A augmentedA
The night is young
A augmentedA         G+G
Before it's old and grey

We will know
         A augmentedA
The thrill of it all

The time has come

It's getting late

It's now or never

Don't hesitate or stall
    FF
When I call

Don't spoil

The thrill of it all

Bridge:
Eb MajorEb            G minorGm
  And before you go to sleep at night
Eb MajorEb              G minorGm
  Preying shadows - do they ask you why?
Eb MajorEb                 G minorGm
  And in the morning through the afternoon
Eb MajorEb               G minorGm
  Do you wonder where you're going to?

Verse 2:
A augmentedA
Every word I use
A augmentedA
Each crumpled page
A augmentedA
Strange ideas
A augmentedA
Mature with age
   G+G
Like leaves
   FF
When autumn falls
   D MajorD
Turn gold
             A augmentedA
Then they hit the ground
A augmentedA
Every time I hear
A augmentedA
The latest sound
A augmentedA
It's pure whiskey
A augmentedA
Reeling round and around
  G+G
My brain
    FF
Oh and all o' that jive
        D MajorD
It's driving me wild
     A augmentedA
The dizzy spin I'm in
A augmentedA
Everywhere I look
A augmentedA
I see your face
A augmentedA
I hear your name
A augmentedA
It's all over the place
 G+G
Hey girl
       FF
Though you've gone
    D MajorD
Still I recall
         A augmentedA
The thrill of it all


Bridge:
Eb MajorEb                 G minorGm
   You might as well know what is right for you
Eb MajorEb                 G minorGm
   And make the most of what you like to do
Eb MajorEb                 G minorGm
   For all the pleasure that's surrounding you

   Should compensate for all you're going through

Oh - oh - oh - oh


Verse 3:
       A augmentedA
So if you're feeling fraught

With mental strain

Well let your senses skip

Stay hip
   D MajorD
Keep cool
          A augmentedA
To the thrill of it all
A augmentedA
When you try too much
A augmentedA
You lose control
A augmentedA
Pressure rises
A augmentedA
And so I'm told
      G+G
Something's got to give
  FF
Oy vey
     D MajorD
High life ecstasy
         A augmentedA
You might as well live
A augmentedA
I can't see
A augmentedA
I can't speak
A augmentedA
I couldn't take more than another week

Without you - oh no

So I will drink my fill

Till the thrill is you
