1. Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall,
                                D   - D7                            G
    playing soft against your skin         like the shadows on the wall.
                                                       C
    Come and lay down by my side in the early morning light,

    all I'm taking is your time,        help me make it through the night.

Well, I don't care if it's right or wrong, I don't try to understand,
                      A                A7              D
let the devil take tomorrow, 'cause tonight I need a friend.

    and it's sad to be alone,        help me make it through the night.
