D                 A                Em
I lie in bed but baby I can't sleep,
               G         D
no matter how hard I try
                              A          Em
There's something bad baby, wrong with me,
             G       Em
whenever I close my eyes

                    G             Em
The dreams of Mary keep me awake,
                   D         A  Em
with every little curve in place
            F#m                G
When I walk home in the daybreak
                 A
Come back home, baby, won't you give me

Chorus:
 G                    A
Darling bring on the night
         G                     A
Oh yeah darling, bring on the night
          G                    A
Oh, now darling, bring on the night

I walk the street, I'm looking for romance
I end up stumblin' in some stupid half-trance
As I watch the lovers mix with circumstance
We watch the disco dancers dance

I look for connection in some new eyes
But for protection, they're tranquilized
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin'
who lies

Chorus:
Bring on the night
Oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night (Bring on)

Am              Em          G
Is it as simple as it seems?
                  D          A   Am
I don't know what I'm doin' here
                Em           G
Is it as simple as it seems?
                D     A         G       D
Is it as simple as I fear? Well if I'm right

I look for connection in some new eyes
But for protection, they're tranquilized
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Baby, of who's tellin' who lies

Chorus:
Bring on the night
Oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now baby, bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night
Come home baby, bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night
Oh now baby, bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night
