N/C                       A 
Take the ribbon from your hair,  
                          D 
shake it loose and let it fall, 
                    E7 
Layin? soft upon my skin.  
                        A 
like the shadows on the wall. 
 
N/C                     A 
Come and lay down by my side  
                       D 
till the early morning light 
                       E7 
All I?m takin? is your time.  
                            A 
help me make it through the night. 
                             D 
I don?t care what?s right or wrong,  
                    A 
I don?t try to understand. 
                        B7 
Let the devil take tomorrow.  
                       E 
Lord, tonight I need a friend. 
N/C                     A 
Yesterday is dead and gone  
                      D 
and tomorrow?s out of sight 
                   E7   
And it?s sad to be alone.  
                            A 
Help me make it through the night.

Help me make it through the night.
