[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Can
you give me something?
[D]Tonight, I'm so alone
[Em]The moon is upside down,
[C]hanging on a telephone
[G]But I rem[D]ember every little bad dream
[Em]Every pretty slow danc[C]e

[Verse 2]
So can I [Em]pick you up [C]later? (When your
[G]temperature's [D]better)
If you [Em]need a little [C]shelter (be your
[G]cool [D]ope[Em]rator)
Keep it all [C]quiet,
yeah [G](just a [D]little louder)
Let [Em]the night wind you [C]down, baby, [G]down
[D]And she smiles,

[Verse 3]
[G]how 'bo[D]ut that?
I was [Em]just about to jump
before [C]you called me back
And [G]you know the pain [D]comes home
And the [Em]whispers come to call me
[G]in my [C]bed when I'm alone
And [G]I've lost so much
more than [D]I ever had
Now my [Em]name is the night,
[C]honey, color me [G]black
[D]C-color [G]me [D]me bla[C]ck[G][C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Can I take you somewhere?
[D]Would it make a difference?
[Em]Like pretty rose[C]s on a deathbed
[G]But I rem[D]ember you in your
white [Em]dress
In your mama's hand[C]s

[Verse 5]
So can I [Em]pick you up [C]later? (When your
[G]temperature's [D]better)
If you [Em]need a little [C]shelter[G]
[D](be your cool [Em]operator)
Keep it all [C]quiet,
[G]yeah [D](just a little louder)
Let [Em]the night wind us [C]down, baby, [G]down
[D]And she smiles,

[Verse 6]
[G]how 'bo[D]ut that?
I was [Em]just about to jump be
[G]fore [C]you called me back
But [G]you know the pain [D]comes home
And the [Em]whispers come to call me
[G]in my [C]bed when I'm alone
And [G]I've lost so much
more than [D]I ever had
Now my [Em]name is the night,
[G]honey, [C]color me bla[G]ck
[D]C-color [G]me [D]me bla[C]ck[G]
And [D]how

[Verse 7]
[Em]long, [C]how long un[G]til you
believe that [D]part of me is gone?
With [Em]your sweet, [C]naive kiss
Well I [G]used to feel the same
until I [D]let the darkness in
And it [Em]cost me nothing, baby,
nah [C]nothing more than this
[G]Nothing more than this useless
[D]heart in my chest
[Em]Nothing that I needed,
and [C]nothing I regret
[G]Nothing that I needed,
and I'd [D]do it all again
I'd do it all again
[C][G]

[Verse 8]
[C]
And she [G]smiles, how [D]'bout that?
I was [Em]just about to jump
before [C]you called me back
But [G]you know the pain [D]comes home
And the [Em]whispers come to call me [G]in
my [C]bed when I'm alone
Singing, [G]"ooh, not [D]just yet"
When I [Em]go, I'll be going out in
[C]flames and fiery wrecks
And the [G]quiet to me,
such an [D]ominous [G]sound
[D]Said my [Em]name is the nighttime [C]now
Yes, [G]the quiet to me,
such an [D]ominous sound
And my [Em]name is the night,
[C]honey, color me black
