Dm It's four o'clock in the morning, and there's a new full moon Gm Dm Shining down through the trees But don't leave the room now, ha, leave it in doubt Gm Dm Pretend not to know what I'm talking about Chorus: A# Gdim C#dim I try all night long A# C# F F+ I try, I want you to come along I feel it when you touch me, I'm already wet But how are you supposed to know what you get? Wake me when it's over, but don't turn on the light Call me by name, that's alright Chorus: I try all night long Ooh, I try to carry on Gm And, how can you go through, how can you go through F So many changes?
