Tuning: Standard
Capo 6th fret
Henry plays this song live with a capo on the 1st fret and that's what I usually prefer
but to avoid confusion I have also noted capo 6th fret to accompany the studio recording.
Try out both registers.
For reference, I'd advise to watch this performance (1st fret):

G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
Well nighttime passes but the dark remains
Cadd9 Dadd9add11
And I was feeling like a little child but I am loathe to place blame
G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
On my lioness-esque woman who will go here unnamed
Cadd9 Dadd9add11 G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
She was looking in me for a lion when she found it so tame (oh)
G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
On that erstwhile may morning I took the six downtown to Spring
Cadd9 Dadd9add11
And I was writing something elegiac that I never learned to sing
G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
But I think it was this song just four years premature
Cadd9 Dadd9add11
And I remember crossing out the line 'All is fair in love and war'
G Cadd9 G Dadd9add11
Well if all is fair in love and war
Em Dsus2/F# G Cadd9
Then I don't know what we are fighting for
G/B Cadd9 G Dadd9add11
'Cause my baby, she's a real peach even when the night come crashin' down
G/B C Am G* F Dadd9add11
Real peach and the nighttime rolls away, alright
G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
And we're comin' back to the demon-killing work of love (my god)
G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
Well nighttime passes and the dark retreats
Cadd9 Dadd9add11
I hand it over to my upper angel who visits me in sleep
G Cadd9 Dadd9add11
We're in the field beyond the right and wrong and the fallacy of form
Cadd9 Dadd9add11
Well you can call it what you wanna call it I just say "All is fair in love and war"
G Cadd9 G Dadd9add11
Well if all is fair in love and war
Em Dsus2/F# G Cadd9
Then I don't know what we are fighting for
G Cadd9 G Dadd9add11
So if we don't care to fight no more
Em Dsus2/F# G Cadd9
Let's go upstairs and let's shut the door
G/B C G Dadd9add11
'Cause my baby, she's a real peach even when the night come crashin' down
G/B C Am G* F Dadd4add9
Real peach and the nighttime rolls away, alright
G/B C G Dadd9add11
'Cause my baby, she's a real peach even when the night come crashin' down
G/B C Am G* F Dadd4add9
Real peach and the nighttime rolls away, alright

And we're comin' back to the demon-killing work of love (my god) illuminate
