The Ecstasy of Flight (I Love the Night) Chris de Burgh
INTRO: Bm G Am Bm D Bm G
[Bm]Com[G]e to my door, meet me at midnight,
[Bm]I c[G]an't wait anymore, and after midnight
[Em]We must head for the town, keep under cover
[C]'t[Em]il dawn, with a bagful of wine
[Bm]The[G] night is alive, look in the shadows,
[Bm]Bec[G]ause now is the time, out in the shadows,
[Em]To be somebody else, a complete transformation
[C]Fr[Em]om the someone we are in the day
BRIDGE:
N.C. Em D6 C
I hear a noise - there is something going on
N.C. Em D6 C
I hear a voice - there is something going on
[G]I [A]see the boys - there is something going on
[C]An[B]d something is happening to me, yea
CHORUS:
[Em]I l[G]ove the night, I love the night,
[Am]I l[B]ove the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
[Em]I l[G]ove the night, I love the night,
[Am]I l[B]ove to dance with a stranger and feel her delight,
[C]And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes,
[G]An[B]d [Em]I listen to the beating of my heart
[Bm]Aft[G]er[Bm] the fall, then came the hunger
[G]In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger
[Em]That begins after dark, hides in the heart
[C]Li[Em]ke a wolf that is waiting inside
BRIDGE:
N.C. Em D6 C
I see a light - there is something going on
N.C. Em D6 C
It's getting bright - there is something going on
[G]I [A]look outside - there is something going on
[C]An[B]d someone is calling to me
CHORUS:
[Em]I l[G]ove the night, I love the night,
[Am]I l[B]ove the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight,
[Em]I l[G]ove the night, I love the night,
[Am]I l[B]ove to be with a stranger and feel her delight,
[C]And when the morning begins, I have to get in
[G]Be[B]fo[Em]re sunlight can fall upon my face
OUTRO: C Em Am B Em C Em Am B Em C Em Am B

[Am]I l[C]ove the night, I love the night
[Em]I l[G]ove the night, I love the night
