Chris de Burgh - The Ecstasy Of Flight (I Love The Night)
INTRO: Bm G Am Bm D Bm G
Bm G
Come to my door, meet me at midnight,
Bm G
I can't wait anymore, and after midnight
Em
We must head for the town, keep under cover
C Em
'til dawn, with a bagful of wine
Bm G
The night is alive, look in the shadows,
Bm G
Because now is the time, out in the shadows,
Em
To be somebody else, a complete transformation
C Em
From the someone we are in the day
BRIDGE:
N.C. Em D6 C
I hear a noise - there is something going on
N.C. Em D6 C
I hear a voice - there is something going on
G A
I see the boys - there is something going on
C B
And something is happening to me, yea
CHORUS:
Em G
I love the night, I love the night,
Am B
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
Em G
I love the night, I love the night,
Am B
I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight,
C
And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes,
G B Em
And I listen to the beating of my heart
Bm G Bm
After the fall, then came the hunger
G
In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger
Em
That begins after dark, hides in the heart
C Em
Like a wolf that is waiting inside
BRIDGE:
N.C. Em D6 C
I see a light - there is something going on
N.C. Em D6 C
It's getting bright - there is something going on
G A
I look outside - there is something going on
C B
And someone is calling to me
CHORUS:
Em G
I love the night, I love the night,
Am B
I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
Em G
I love the night, I love the night,
Am B
I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight,
C
And when the morning begins, I have to get in
G B Em
Before sunlight can fall upon my face
OUTRO: C Em Am B Em C Em Am B Em C Em Am B
