The Music Of The Night

[Verse 1]
[D]         [A]         [D]                 [A]
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
[D]        [A]         [G]           [A]
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
[G]            [D]       [G]              [D]
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
[G]             [C]        [G]       [D]
Helpless to resist the notes I write
[Em]            [A]     [A7]     [D]
For I compose the music of the night

[Verse 2]
[D]       [A]       [D]                 [A]
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
[D]         [A]         [G]             [A]
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
[G]            [D]         [G]          [D]
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
[G]                  [C]       [G]     [D]
Hot as lightning, soft as candlelight
[Em]                 [A]     [A7]     [D]
Dare you trust the music of the night

[Bridge 1]
[ C ]                            [F]
Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
[ Bb ]                           [E7]
And the truth isn't what you want to see
[ A ]          [A7]         [D]
In the dark it is easy to pretend
[ F#m ]      [C#]               [F#]
That the truth is what it ought to be

[Verse 3]
[D]       [A]       [D]             [A]
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
[D]        [A]        [G]           [A]
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
[G]            [D]              [G]           [D]
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
[G]                  [C]        [G]      [D]
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
[Em]              [A]     [A7]     [D]
The darkness of the music of the night

[Bridge 2]
[C]            [G]                 [F]
Close your eyes, start a journey through a strange new world
[A#]                             [E7]
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
[A]            [A7]            [D]
Close your eyes and let music set you free
[F#m]      [C#]            [F#]
Only then can you belong to me

[Verse 4]
[D]                    [A]                  [D]           [A]
Floating (floating), falling (falling), sweet intoxication
[D]                    [A]                    [G]               [A]
Touch me (touch me), trust me (trust me), savour each sensation
[G]               [D]             [G]           [D]
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
[G]            [C]     [G]      [D]
To the power of the music that I write
[Em]               [A]     [A7]     [D]
The power of the music of the night....

[Instrumental / Chorus]
[D]      [A]       [D]      [A]
[D]      [A]       [G]      [A]

[G]           [D]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..
[G]           [D]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
[G]    [D]
Ah-ah-ah...
[A]     [A7]       [D]
Aaaaaaaaaah... oooh..
[G]             [C]       [G]         [D]
You and I can make my song take flight
[Em]      [A]        [A7]           [G]    [Em]   [D#m]   [C#]   [D]
