[Em] Oh, let's [Am] become a [C] child of [Em] the night.
[Am] When she [C] goes out, [E] [F] it's only [Ab] for bare [Gm] [Em] necessities.
She says [Am] she's had [C] it up to here [G] with life.
[Am] While the city [B] sleeps, [Gm]
[F] [D] that's when she comes alive.

[G] CD's spinning, [A] AC [Gm] humming, [Eb]

[Em] Sometimes [F] she'll call it [Am] some [Em] unholy hour.
[Am] She wants [C] to talk [F] [C] all of this grim and funny [Em] stuff.

We all [B] wonder where [Gb]
[Db] she's gone.
[B] That's when we get our own little [Db] snooze now.
And [B] every night we get [E] a [Gbm] moment's shock.
[D]
[Gbm] Maybe [F] it's good that [Am] she's [Em] above it all.
[Am] When things don't seem as [E] dark.
[C] When [Fm] you're already [D] dressed in [Em] black.
We try not [Am] to see the [Em] writing on [Bm] the wall.
[C]
What [G] happens [Em] [Am] tomorrow when [F] the moon rains?
It's [C] no prank.
[G] When [C] she rises, how's [Ab] the [C] starlight?
Miles above [G] the [Gb] city's heat.
Will [Em] she follow [C] her or floats off [F] into the street?
[C] [Fm] Tonight [C] the night belongs [Am] to mom.
