DEEP HEART OF THE NIGHT

Words and music by Lachlan Irvine

[G][Bm][C][D7][G]

You [G] came to me un-[Bm]-bidden, you [C] took me by sur-[D]-prise;
You [G] lit a spark in-[Am]-side me, and [D7] opened up my [G] eyes.
When [C] days can be so [G] lonely, and [C] nights so dark and [D7] long,
[G] You alone con-[Bm]-sole me,
And [C] make my [D7] life a [G] song.

[C][D7][G]

[G] I know I can't con-[Bm]-trol you, you're [C] not mine to com-[D]-mand;
But [G] life felt so much [Am] sweeter when [D7] we were hand-in-[G]-hand.
Now I [C] need you more than [G] ever, in the [C] deep heart of the [D7] night;
But when I [G] call in despe-[Bm]-ration,
You're [C] somewhere [D7] out of [G] sight.

[C][D7][G]

[G] If you would stay be-[Bm]-side me, just [C] think what we might [D] do;
But [G] lifetimes have been [Am] wasted in [D7] vain pursuit of [G] you.
[C] I could take what you've [G] given, and [C] make it on my [D7] own,
But [G] who, once having [Bm] known you,
Would [C] choose to [D7] be a-[G]-lone?

[C][D7][G]

[G] You know where you can [Bm] find me, if [C] ever you re-[D]-turn;
Your [G] pupil, ever [Am] willing, has [D7] so much still to [G] learn.
Now I [C] need you more than [G] ever, in the [C] deep heart of the [D7] night;
But I [G] call in despe-[Bm]-ration,
And [C] still you're [D7] out of [G] sight.

Yes, I [C] need you more than [G] ever, in the [C] deep heart of the [D7] night;
But I [G] call in despe-[Bm]-ration,
And [C] still you're [D7] out of [G] sight.

[C][D7][G]
