Verse 1
(A flat major) As the watchman's fire's
burned low
Through (F minor) the curfew street (F major) s I (G major) go
The (A flat major) shuttered house stands silent
As I (G major) whisper through the door,
hello Peter (A flat major) turns the key
Through (F major) an open door I (G major) see
A lamplit (A flat major) face at a table place
Waiting (G major) so it seems for me
I (C major) see by your smile you (G major) know me well
You (A minor) know the score, yes, (E minor) I'm still
A (F major) most upstanding cit (C major) izen
Respect (D minor) implied the more
Yes, (Gsus4) (C major) I mean good, could I (G major) do more?
(A minor) I say my prayers and I (E minor) help the (C major) poor
Holy (D minor) Moses knows (C major) I've
kept the (D minor) rules (Gsus4)
But (F major) am (C major) I alright (D minor) with you? (C major)
How (E minor) could I have lived so long
And (A minor) feel so right yet be so wrong
An (D minor) d now you say
I stand (Gsus4) outside your (C major) kingdom
But (E minor) I can't argue or correct you
The (A minor) words you say I can't reject
You (D minor) speak as one whose word (G major)
can (Gsus4) not be (C major) broken
Tell (E minor) me Jesus, what can I (D minor) do
to be right (F major) with (Gsus4) you? (A minor)
To be (D minor) right with (G major) (Gsus4) you (C major) (Csus2) (C major)
And with the (A flat major) shadows closing in
He spoke an (Adim) d touched me (F major) deeper then (G major)
While (A flat major) soft outside a baby cried
A (G major) moth stands round the candle flame
Hey, (A flat major) what's that you're saying?
That (F major) I must be born again, (G major)
that (A flat major) my life appears as wasted years,
(G major) and never did begin (C major) (G major)
(A minor) (E minor) (F major) (C major) (D minor)
(Gsus4) Well, (F major) am (C major) I all right (D minor) with (G major) you? (C major)
Some (E minor) times in the lamplight of my room
(A minor) I've wished that overnight
I (D minor) could (Gsus4) believe (C major) in you
(E minor) Oh, when I'm here talking with you,
Jesus, (A minor) anything seems possible
(D minor) But to be born again, (F major) it just seem (C major) s crazy
(E minor) You have my respect,
I'd like to be (D minor) lieve in you
I'm trying to,
I need to be (Gsus4) right (D minor) with (G major) you (A minor)
I need to be (D minor) right (F major) (Gsus4) with (C major) you (A flat major)
Oh, how (C major) can I be right with you? (A flat major)
Oh, what's (C major) that you say? (A flat major) (C major) (A flat major)
It's (D minor) getting late (G major) and I must go
(D minor) The light of dawn (G major) is showing through
(D minor) They mustn't see (G major) me
here with you (D minor) (Gsus4)
(D minor) When I've made my (G major) mind up
(D minor) When I've made (G major) my mind up
(D minor) When I've made my (G major) mind up
I'll (G major) let you (A flat major) know
Please don't let (B flat major) go of me (C major)
