Slowly Goes The Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Darling, that morning you cho[A]se to go
I awoke in my boots and [D]clothes
You dig in my card[A]s,
[D]stole all my [A]cash
Even my five- hundred dollar
suit was [D]slashed
And I just lay there watching the
[A]sun fall down from the sky
Not want[D]ing to open the letter
[A]But opening it [D]anyway
And seeing [A]those two words
Lover, lover, [D]goodbye

[Verse 2]
[A]
So slowly goes [D]the night[A]
Next to me [Bm]lies your body
Laying like [E]the map of
some forbidden land
[D]I trace the ghosts of your bones
[Bm]With my tr[A]embling hand[Em]
Dark is my [Bm]night
And darker is my [Em]day y[Bm]eah
I must've been [G]blind
Out of my [A]mind
I never, never [F#m]saw the warning si[G]gns
How [Em]goes it?
It goes [F#m]lonely
It [C#]goes slowly

[Verse 3]
[C#]
So slowly goes [D]the night[A]
Ten lonely days, ten [D]lonely nights
[A]Come on
I watch the [Bm]moon get flayed each night
Until [E]the moon becomes the skinning knife
[D]The ski[A]ns o[D]f my sins I send to
[A]cover and [Bm]comfort [Em]you
I know of a [Bm]Heaven
Oh, but honey I know of a Hell, [Em]yeah[Bm]
I hang my [G]head
I toss in my [A]bed
I never, never [F#m]forget the
words you [G]said
"One [Em]evening, [C]I'm [F#m]leaving"
An[A]d I [C#]laughed and
checked her breathing
And said darling

[Verse 4]
Oh, go [C#]slowly through the [D]night[A]
Oh baby, I feel the [D]heal of time
And it [A]hurts
I wake to [Bm]find you sitting right there
[E]Cutting tangles out of your [D]hair
Singing a song that's all wrong
Hey, but [A]that's alright, [E]I don't care
[Em]Oh, I'm [Bm]sorry
For all the [Em]misery, [Bm]yeah
I reach out and [G]embrace an
empty [A]space
A song that [F#m]slowly slowly [G]fades
[Em]Where goes it?
It goes [F#m]some place
It goes [C#]somewhere, where it's lonely

[Verse 5]
And [C#]black as the [D]night
[A]Come on [D]home, baby
Let's put things [A]right, put things right
I hang [Bm]my head and cry cry cry
[E]Darling, all night [D]I try
To cease [Em]on a [D]reason for this
[A]mad mad [Bm]season[Em]
The nights, the nights they are so [Bm]long now
I can't remember being in [Em]light
Call [Bm]it sleep, call it death,
call it what you [C]like[Em]
But only [Bm]sleep, dear
Only sleep brings you back to life,
[Em]yeah[C][Em][Bm]
I hang my [G]head
I toss and [A]I sweat
I never, never, never [F#m]can fo[G]rget
How [Em]goes it?
Well [F#m]I'm going, baby, sl[C#]owly slowly going
And we both know that it's
gonna be [D]al right
[F#m][D][A]

[Verse 6]
But it ain't you that [D]has to cry cry [A]cry
Ten lonely [D]days, ten lonely [A]nights
Since you [D]left my side, [A]side, side
