[Intro]
Bm G A Bm x2
[Verse 1]
Bm G A Bm
Take me now, baby, here as I am
G A Bm
Hold me close, n' try n' understand
G A Bm
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
G A Bm
Love is a banquet on which we feed
G A D A
C'mon now, try n' understand
Bm G D A
The way I feel under your command
D G D A
Take my hand, as the sun descends
C Bm F#
They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now...
[Chorus]
Bm G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lovers
G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lust
G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lovers
G A Bm
Because the night belongs to us
[Verse 2]
Bm G A Bm x2
Bm G A Bm
Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
G A Bm
Love is a ring, a telephone
G A Bm
Love is an angel disguised as lust
G A Bm
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes
G A D A
C'mon now, try n' understand
Bm G D A
The way I feel under your command
D G D A
Take my hand, as the sun descends
C Bm F#
They can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now, can't hurt ya now...
[Chorus]

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lovers

[Bridge]
D A D A Bm A
With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious cycle turns, n' burns
D A Bm A D A
Without you oh I cannot live, forgive the yearnin', burnin'
G D G A
I believe it's time, too real to feel
Bm D G F#
So take me now, take me now, take me now...
[Chorus]
Bm G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lovers
G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lust
G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lovers
G A Bm
And everybody says that it belongs to us
