IntroBm G A Bm/ + + + . ^ / + + + + / + + + . ^ / + + + + :|

Bm G A BmTake me now, baby, here as I am.Bm G A BmHold me close try and understand.

Bm G A BmDesire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.Bm G A BmLove is a banquet on which we feed.

G A D ACome on now, try and understand

Bm G Athe way I feel when I'm in your hand.D G ATake my hand, come under cover.

C Bm F#They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.

Bm G A BmBecause the night belongs to lovers. Bm G A BmBecause the night belongs to love. Bm G A BmBecause the night belongs to lovers. Bm G A BmBecause the night belongs to us.

Bm G A BmHave I doubt, when I'm alone?Bm G A BmLove is a ring, - the telephone.Bm G A BmLove is an angel disguised as lust,Bm G A BmHere in our bed until the morning comes.

G A D ACome on now, try and understand

Bm G Athe way I feel under your command.D G ATake my hand, as the sun descends.

C Bm F#They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.
