[Verse 1]
At that time of the [A]night
[F]When streetlights throw crosses
through [G]window frames
[Em]Paranoia roams where [A]the shadows reign
[F]Oh, at that [Dm]time of [G]the [Em]night
At that time of [A]the night
[F]Your senses tangled in
[G]some new perfume
[Em]Criticism triggers of [A]a loaded room
[F]Oh, at that time of [G]the night[Em]

[Verse 2]
So if [G]you ask me
How do I fell [F]inside
I could honestly [G]tell you
We've been taken on a [F]very long ride
[G]And if my owners let me
Have some [F]free time some day
With all good in[G]tention
I would probably [F]run away
Clutching the [D]short straw
[Bb][C][Am][A][F]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Em]At that time of the nigh[A]t
When [F]questions rally in an [G]open mind
[Em]Sum mon all your answers with
an [A]ice cube [F]chime
At that time of [G]the night
[Em]At that time of the nigh[A]t
Pre[F]tend you're off the hook
with the [G]telephone
Your [Em]confidence wounded
in a [A]free fire zone
[F]Oh, at that time [G]of the night
[Em]So if you

[Verse 4]
[G]ask me
Where do I go [F]from here
My next des[G]tination
Even isn't [F]really that clear
[G]So if you join me
And get on [F]your knees and prey
I'll show you sal[G]vation
We'll take the al[F]ternative way
Clutching the [A]short [D]straw
[G][F][A][D][G][F]

[Verse 5]
[A]
If I had enough money
[D]I'd buy a round for[G] that boy over-there
[F]A A[A] companion in my mad
[D]ness in the mirror
The [G]one with the silvery [F]hair
[A]And if some kind sou[D]l
Could please [G]pick up my [F]tab[A]
And while they're at [D]it
If they could [G]pick up my broken
[F]hea[A]rt[D][G][F][A]
[D]Warm wet

[Verse 6]
[G]cir[F]cles
