(Oh, the night is) my world              [Verse]

City light, painted girl         Cm Gm Cm Gm

In the day, nothing matters      Bb   Fm  G#   D#

It's the night, time that flatters

In the night, no control                 [Intro]

Through the wall, something's breaking   Cm Gm

Wearing white, as you're walkin'         Cm Gm

Down the street of my soul

                                    [Pre-Chorus]

You take my self, you take my self control

You got me livin' only for the night

Before the morning comes, the story's told

You take my self, you take my self control

Another night, another day goes by

I never stop myself to wonder why

You help me to forget to play my role

You take my self, you take my self control

                                           [Cho-

I, I live among the creatures of the night  rus]

I haven't got the will to try and fight

Against a new tomorrow         ╔════════════════

So I guess I'll just believe it,  Self Control

    that tomorrow never comes  ║ Laura Branigan

(A safe night),                ╚════════════════

    I'm living in the forest of my dream

I know the night is not as it would seem

I must believe in something              [Bridge

So I'll make myself believe it,           Intro]

    that this night will never go    Ohohoh (x4)
