Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

played on piano, but here is for guitar):

1st verse:

Take me now baby here as I am

Pull me close, try and understand

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe

Love is a banquet on which we feed

Prechorus

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand as the sun descends

( )

They can't hurt you now,

( )

Can't hurt you now,

( )

Can't hurt you now

Chorus

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

2nd verse:

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone

Love is a ring, a telephone

Love is an angel disguised as lust

Here in our bed until the morning comes

Prechorus

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel under your command

Take my hand as the sun descends

( )

They can't hurt you now,

( )

Can't hurt you now,

( )

Can't hurt you now

Chorus

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Violins solo.

Bridge

 With love we sleep

 With doubt the vicious circle

Turns and burns

Without you, oh I cannot live

Forgive, the yearning burning

  I believe it's time to heal to feel

 So take me now, take me now, take me now

Chorus

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to us

Because the night belongs to lovers

 And everybody says

 It belongs to us
