C                        
Take the ribbon from your hair
              C7                     F     Dm
shake it loose and let it fall
                                    G7
layin' soft against my skin
                                         C
like the shadows on the wall
 

C                      
Come and lay down by my side
           C7                  F          Dm
till the early morning light
                                 G7
all I'm taking is your time
                                                 C
help me make it through the night
 

C        C7                           F
I don't care who's right or wrong
                             C            Am
I don't try to understand
                                D7
let the devil take tomorrow
                                    G7
Lord, tonight I need a friend
 

(G7)                                  C
Yesterday is dead and gone
          C7                      F         Dm
and tomorrow's out of sight
                                G7
and it's sad to be alone
                                                C
help me make it through the night
C             Dm             G7
Lord, it's sad to be alone,
                                                C
help me make it through the night.
