C    Em   F   G

C                      Em           F

Well it was alright at midnight and you fell out at three 
     C                                  G  
So I made you warm and stoked the dying fire 
        C                  Em               F             
When it all came down this morning you were lying next to me 
    C         G       F           
How sweet the wine of desire 
        C            Em         F        G     C
Well we cheated on a friend and cheaters never win 
       Am                 Dm            G    
Oh the truth I know would be a small relief 
        C            Em
I could never be the one to say 
    F                    
Her best friend took you down
      C          Am    C                   Am
Gonna run in the night hide when ever it's light 
      C          G            Bb F          
Gonna run in the night like a thief  
              C            Em         F               
Just ain't no use think it over I was blind but now I see 
     C                                           G
Well she's coming back and I know just what I'll do 
      C                       Em             Fmaj7                 
If it comes right down to you leaving her or staying here with me 
       C         G      F
How sweet the memory of you
        C            Em            F            G      Am  Em F Bb
Well we cheated on a friend and it looks like I lose again  
        C            Em
I could never be the one to say 
     F                    
Her best friend took you down
    C                 Am    C                    Am
I'd rather run in the night hide when ever it's light 
      C          G            Bb F         C
Gonna run in the night like a thief  

SOLO
       F            Dm    F                    Dm
Like a thief in the night hide when ever it's light 
      F          C            Bb   F G      Am Em  Fmaj7 
Gonna run in the night like a thief
