Lucy Kaplansky - Ten Year Night
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G G/F# Em C G G/F# C (2x)
G G/F#
There is no one else around
Em C
The road is quiet the only sound
G G/F# C
Is wind that sounds like cars, that sound like breathing
G G/F#
The desert air is hot and dry
Em C
Two lanes weaving earth and sky
G G/F# C
The stars are all that's keeping time 'til morning
G G/F#
And I turn and look beside me
Em C
And you're sleeping like a baby
G G/F# C
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying
G G/F#
And the way you look tonight
Em C
Fast asleep in the dashboard light
G G/F# C
Well, I can't speak, that's how I feel
CHORUS: G
Bm C D G
Open your eyes and look at me, look at me
Bm C D Em
Open your eyes and look at me
C G D Em
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
C G D Em
Before ere this ten year night is through
D
I'm telling you
G G/F# Em
Take it from me
C G G/F# C
Take it from me
G G/F#
We're ten years older, I know we are
Em C
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
G G/F# C
You thought I was some kind of star, that's what you said
G G/F#
I felt your skin, I felt the heat
Em C
As you pulled me out into the street
G G/F# C
And you kissed me there 'til I was weak, 'cause I asked you to
G G/F#
Later on, on your kitchen floor
Em C
Two flights above the grocery store
G G/F# C
I felt things I never felt before, and I still do
CHORUS: G
Bm C D G
Open your eyes and look at me, look at me
Bm C D Em
Open your eyes and look at me
C G D Em
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
C G D Em
Before ere this ten year night is through
D
I'm telling you
G G/F# Em
Take it from me
C G G/F# C
Take it from me
BRIDGE:
G Em
Going eighty on the highway
D C
We're all rushing somewhere
G Em
But the way I feel tonight
D Em
It's like I'm already there
CHORUS: G
Bm C D G
Open your eyes and look at me and look at me
Bm C D Em
Open your eyes, oh, and look at me and look at me
C G D Em
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
C G D Em
Before ere this ten year night is through
D
I'm telling you, telling you
G G/F# Em
Take it from me
C G G/F# C
Take it from me
C G G/F# C
Take it from me
C G
Take it from me
