Rythm is fairly easy, listen to studio album for pattern. A few notes: On the chorus c->bm->am, just start
in C(or Cadd9) and just walk the bass note down to A...the Bm is just a passing form of the C with a B
note in the bass(coiuld even use C/B). There are other occurrences of this, like G->F#m->Em, which are the
same, just walk the bass note down for the middle chord. In other words, don't play the middle chord
(Bm or F#m, just alter the bass note from the previous chord as you walk it down). See the chord shape
listed below, they should make it clear what's happening.

[Verse 1]
G Em
Caught a little sun, feel a little lazy
G D D7
Had a little fun, drank a little wine
G G7 Cadd9 Cm
Made a little love, got a lot of nothin on my mind
G D G
It's a good night, to lay around here killing time
[Verse 2]
G Em
I made peace with dark, I'm over the nightmares
G D D7
I got a strong heart, and clean desires
G G7 Cadd9 Cm
I'm turnin out alright, well it's been a sweet life so far
G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 G G7
it's a good night, to kill a little time in your arms
[Chorus 1]
C Bm Am G
I get a frail, hollow longing in my dreams here
G F#m Em A D
A far off sense of loss when I first wake
G G7 Cadd9 Cm
I'm turnin out alright, well ain't it a sweet life these days
G D Cadd9 Bm Asus4 D/F#...
It's a good night, to kill a little time on the fire escape
[Breakdown] (like verse, no lyrics)
G Em
G D D7
Yeah Yeah Yeah....
G G7 Cadd9 Cm
G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 G
[Bridge]
Cadd9 D Dsus4
I nearly let the lust destroy me
Cadd9 D Dsus4
If not for you'd I've surely drowned
Em Bm
But I've seen hunger most will never comprehend
Cadd9 D
Plant friends and lovers one by one in the stoney ground
[Verse 3]
G Em
THere's a gathering storm, I hear a little thunder
G D
Smell a little wind, feel a little rain
G G7 Cadd9 Cm
But I can deal with the angels, cuz it ain't me they're here to claim
G D Dsus4 D Dsus4 G G7
It's a good night, for blowin 'em off to some other day
[Chorus]
C Bm A G
And I get a frail hollow longin in my dreams
G F#m Em A D
A far off sense of loss when I first wake
G G7 Cadd9 Cm
I'm turning out alright, well ain't it a sweet life these days
G D Em Cadd9
If you think you can stand holding my hand on the fire escape
G D Cadd9 Bm Am D G
I'm a good man, who's done a couple of bad things along the way
