Bm      G          A         Bm  
Take me now, baby, here as I am.

Pull me close try and understand.  
          G              A      Bm  
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.  
          G          A        Bm  
Love is a banquet on which we feed.  
G       A            D    A  
Come on now, try and understand  
    Bm    G                     A  
the way I feel when I'm in your hand.  
D       G                A  
Take my hand; come under cover.  
     C                   Bm                  F#  
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.  
  
  
Bm      G                 A  
Because the night belongs to lovers.  
Bm      G                 A  Bm  
Because the night belongs to lust.  
        G                 A  
Because the night belongs to lovers.  
Bm      G                 A  Bm  
Because the night belongs to us.  
  
Second verse:  
  
Have I doubt when I'm alone?  
Love is a ring on the telephone.  
Love is an angel disguised as lust,  
here in our bed until the morning comes.  
Come on now, try and understand  
the way I feel under your command.  
Take my hand as the sun descends.  
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.  
  
Repeat chorus  
  
Ending:  
  
     D    A         D          A                   Bm   A  
With love we sleep; with doubt the vicious circle turn and turns.  
D       A            Bm    A       D        A  
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning  
    G     D        G  
I believe in time, too real to feel,  
   Bm            D             G              F#  
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.
