A         G             D             Em
I see him standing silhouetted in the lamp light,

A         G             D           Em
I cross the street and I quicken my pace.

A           G             D            Em
He cups his hands and he lights a cigarette,

A           G        Em           F      G
I find myself in the bones of his face.  Ah, ha.
Chorus:
C             G           Dm
It's just the night in my veins,

Em                               F
Oh, oh... making me crawl in the dust again.

C             G     Dm              G
It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in.
Verse 2:
G        F               G        C             Am        G
He's got his hands in my hair and his lips everywhere, Oh yeah, 

F        G     C    Am
It feels good, it's alright.

G            F        G           C     Am
Even if it's just the night in my veins.

A              G           D         Em
He's got me up against the back of a pickup truck,

A      G            D        Em
Out of sight of the neon and glare.

A           G            D               Em
We might as well be on a beach under the moonlight,

A               G         Em      F                G
Love's language reads the same anywhere, ah, ha ...yeah.
Chorus (Repeat):
C             G           Dm

Oh, making me crawl in the dust again.

It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in.

G        F               G             C   Am              G
He's got his chest on my back across a new Cadillac, ...Oh yeah,

F        G     C    Am
It feels good, it's alright,

G            F        G           C     Am
Even if it's just the night in my veins,
