Lyrics

I know it’s (G)late,

I know you’re (C)wea ry;

I know your (G)plans

don’t in clude (G)me.

(D)Still, here we (G)are:

both of us (G)lone ly,

long ing for (G)shel ter

from all that we (Dsus4)see.

Why should we (G)wor ry?

No one will (G)care, girl.

Look at the (G)stars now,

so far a (Dsus4)way.

We’ve got to (G)night,

who needs to (C)mor row?

We’ve got to night,

babe;

why don’t you (G)stay?

Deep in my (G)soul,

I’ve been so (C)lone ly;

(D)all of my (G)hopes

fad ing a (G)way.

I’ve longed for (G)love,

ooh, like ev ’ry one (G)else does.

I know I’ll keep search ing

So there (D)it (G)is, girl:

we’ve got it (G)all now.

And here (D)we (G)are, babe;

We’ve got to night,

who needs to (G)mor row?

We’ve got to night,

babe;

I know it’s late, and I know you’re (G)wea ry.

I know your plans
