Before The Night Is Gone chords

capo 2

[INTRO]
[G] [Em] [C] [G] x2

VIG [Em] [C] [G]
I was hoping to rest a while but this cup of coffee will have to do
[G]I’ve got one [Em]hand on the wheel and one [C]arm reaching out to [G]you
[G]Closed your eyes in [Em]Grand Junction and I [Am]ain’t heard a [C]word from you[G] since
[G]So I’ll just try to stay [Em]inside the lines and [C]mind the sideways[G] wind
[G]All I’ve got is the [Em]radio and this [C]empty distant [G]sky
[G]And Willie’s singing somewhere [Em]over the rainbow
But [C]you, no [Am]you won’t see the [C]tears in [Em]my eyes

[CHORUS]
Be[C]fore the night is [G]gone [D]
Won’t you [Em]tell me [C]our love will linger [G]on? [D]
[Em]And knock that chip off your [G]shoulder, Into your heart of [C]stone to start a [G]spark
Cause [Em]I need [C]someway..... to see[G] .... in the dark

V2
[G]Thought I could be [Em]honest and you [C]thought you could be [G]true
[G]The promises we [Em]made were many but the [C]ones we kept were [G]few
[G]We were looking for [Em]green grass and a [C]warm and loving [G]home
[G]But we’ve got this [Em]cold concrete [C]curse in our blood and [G]our bones
[G]When we crossed that [Em]great divide it was [C]in the back of both of our [G]minds
[G]Like the rivers [Em]from that point you’d go [Am]your way and [C]I’d [G]go [Em]mine

[CHORUS]
Be[C]fore the night is [G]gone [D]
Won’t you [Em]tell me our [C]love will linger [G]on? [D] [Am]
[Em]And knock that chip off your [G]shoulder In[D]to your heart of [C]stone to start a [G]spark
Cause [Em]I need some[C]way.... to see.... [G]in the dark

Instrumental [G] [Em] [C] [G] x4

V3
[G]The gas station on the [Em]state line where we [C]saw the posted [G]signs
[G]The government was [Em]saying they were sorry and [C]trying to apolo[G]gize
[G]About the poison [Em]in the sand and the [C]lies they told [G]again and again
[G]They thought if they [Em]gave us enough money that [C]we would all under[G]stand
[G]But babe you [Em]never will and that’s [C]why I love you [G]still
[G]No matter how far we [Em]drift apart You’ll [C]always have a [G]piece of [Em]my heart

[CHORUS]
Be[C]fore the night is [G]gone [D]
Won’t you [Em]tell me our [C]love will linger [G]on? [D] [Am]
[Em]And knock that chip off your [G]shoulder In[D]to your heart of [C]stone to start a [G]spark
Cause [Em]I need some[C]way.... to see.... [G]in the dark
