Topic: Night From Hell

First time posting. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Night From Hell
Ben Strunk (all rights reserved)

Verse (starts slow)
      Em   D                C       G
In a tiny room of this busy world.
Em             D               G                 C
I wrote this song as the clock stood still
     Em        D               C       G
My past falls back but it never dies
       Em          D               G            C
The memories live in your gleaming eyes

Em D C G Em D G C

Verse
  Em    D             C          G
I lie awake to the tune of hope
       Em            D              G              C
To a brand new day and a change of soul
      Em            D             C     G
But notes don’t change to fit a song
        Em       D            G            C
They bind in chains my world to harm.

Chorus: (faster and more powerful than the verses)
            Em         D            C      G
And the rain falls down without a cloud
          Em  D                 G             C
In this tiny room on this night from hell
            Em   D                 C       G
And the fires burn with no end in sight
      Em  D              G       C       
The city sleeps as I sing tonight

Em D C G Em D G C

Verse
      Em            D               C              G
The lights burn out and the stars don’t shine
       Em    D                         G           C
The music keeps me in some frame of mind.
       Em     D                    C            G
The guitar strings begin to sting my thumb
     Em       D                        G             C
But I keep strumming till the pain goes numb

Chorus

Em D G C (Cutoff on C)

Verse
(soft and slow)
      Em   D               C       G
In a tiny room of this busy world.
   Em          D               G               C
I wrote this song as the clock stood still
      Em            D               C              G
The lights burn out and the stars don’t shine
      Em     D                         G            C
The music keeps me in some frame of mind.

Chorus


Ending:
            Em         D            C      G
And the rain falls down without a cloud
       Em  D                G               C
In a tiny room on this night from hell
