| D | G |
| Take the ribbon from your | hair |
| D | G |
| Shake it loose and let it | fall |
| Em | A7 |
| Lay it soft against my | skin |
| D | G |
| Like the shadows on the | wall | |
| D | G |
| Come and lay down by my | side |
| D | G |
| Till the early morning | light |
| Em | A7 |
| All I'm taking is your | time |
| D | G |
| Help me make it through the | night | |
| D | G |
| I don't care what's right or | wrong |
| D |
| I don't try to under | stand |
| E7 |
| Let the devil take | tomorrow |
| A7 |
| Cause tonight I need a | friend |
| D | G |
| Yesterday is dead and | gone |
| D | G |
| and tomorrow's out of | sight |
| Em | A7 |
| and it's sad to be | alone |
| D | G | D |
| help me make it through the | night | | |
| A7 |
| I don't want to be | alone |
| D | G | D |
| help me make it through the | night | | |
