Fm  Bb 
Across the night  
           Gm                 G# 
It was the moon that stole my slumber 
           Fm  Bb  
Across the night  
          Gm               G# 
I fell in love with people sleeping 
 
C, Bb, F (3x) 
 
C      Cmaj7 
I fell tired,  
C                  Cmaj7 
asleep in a golden ocean 
     C        Cmaj7  
Your eyes perspired, 
  C                Cmaj7  
a spike in my fascination 
 
Fm              Cm  
I don't mean to make you cry 
         G#m          G                     Fm 
But this feeling will run right through the night 
              Cm                      Gm G  
And I'll only make you cry with these feelings

Across the night, Across the night 
           Fm Bb             Gm             G# 
Across the night, I hugged a mans arthritic shoulders 
 
C, Bb, F (3x) 
 
C          Cmaj7              C 
Sleepless, untamed without a leash on the light around me  
 
Fm              Cm  
I don't mean to make you cry 
         G#m          G                     Fm
