Verse 1:
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.
Middle Riff (Repeat):
A G D Em ...Oh, oh!
A G D Em
A G D Em
Verse 3:
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 It's just the night in my veins, Em F Oh, making me crawl in the dust again. C G Dm G It's just the night under my skin, slipping it in.
Verse 4:
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, G F G C Am Even if it's just the night in my veins.
