Dm                            F     G
There is a voice, it is chastizing me
I was so cold, what had become of me?
Take all your limbs and wrap them round your neck
So they all laugh at your predicament
All of the boys and girls, all people in this world
Give me a dream and I will give you my word

Chorus:
Dm          F G
I need the night
Dm                C G
And I need this drink
        Dm
Will you sit with me
          F             G
And bring all of your friends
Dm
Chase the morning light
     C           G
Till all of this ends

There's a whisper that our God is a she
She sits on high over the land and the sea
Her breast is heavy in a brand new world
Tell your grandmother and your boys and your girls
She's got a brand new favourite
Tell all the shrinks and haters
Give her a dream and she will give you her word

Chorus:
I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me
And bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light
Till all of this ends
I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me
And bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light
Till all of this ends

F                   G
When I realized that I never loved them
Am                         G
That the ones before just held me down
And caused me problems

This ain't that the way you see me
The way you hold me high
Tell me that you love me on longest days turned cold as ice

Chorus:
I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me
And bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light
Till all of this ends
I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me
And bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light
Till all of this ends
