    Bb
She took me on a rollercoaster
F                 C
I have never gone down
   Bb
We bought an old farm house
    F                        C
And paid to have it all torn down
       Bb
We sat under an oak tree
    F                             C
And watched as every leaf hit the ground
    Bb
The sky became a painting
   F                             C
We watched as the planes crashed down

Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
C
I'm waiting for the night to take us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to wake us
C
I'm waiting for the night to break us

   Bb
We stood atop the jukebox
    F                      C
And sang until the cavalry came
    Bb
Our thoughts were bleeding colors
    F                            C
The rifles cocked and took their aim
       Bb
And we took off all our clothes
    F                   C
And marched in a perfect line
   Bb
We sat and talked for hours
F                             C
Laughed and drank the cheapest wine

Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
C
I'm waiting for the night to take us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to wake us
C                   G
I'm waiting for the night to break us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
C
I'm waiting for the night to take us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
C                   G
I'm waiting for the night to break us

Am
I don't know where to go
    F
And I don't know where is my home
            C   G
But we carry on
Am
I don't know where to go
    F
And I don't know where is my home
            C   G
But we carry on

Am                  F

I'm waiting for the night to take us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to wake us
C                   G
I'm waiting for the night to break us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to save us
C                   G
I'm waiting for the night to take us
Am                  F
I'm waiting for the night to wake us
C                   G                 Dm  F
I'm waiting for the night to break us
