[Riff 1]        G                   A7            C                G
      I've been up all night with a kind of light    burning in my brain
[Riff 1] G              A7           C                      G
     The flame is cold,    freezing,   but it takes away my pain
Em                 A7        Em                  A7
  I don't feel any pain, no,    I don't feel any pain
Em                               A7
  Just sit here listening to the rain tonight


VERSE:
[Riff 1]          G                 A7  C                     G
  No no no no no,   no no no no no,       you sweet deceiver, you
Em                              A7
  Though it's cold, the pain is bright
Em                           A7
  Clearer vision through the night
Em                              A7
  If helps me see that it's all right with me

C                     G
  You sweet deceiver, you

C                     G
  You sweet deceiver, you

[Riff 1] G            A7                 C                     G
      Oh no no no no,    no no no no no,   you sweet deceiver, you

Em                              A7
  Though it's cold, its pain is bright
Em                           A7
  Clearer vision through the night
Em                                  A7         G
  And it helps me see then it's all right with me

      I've been up all night with a kind of light    burning in my brain
Em                 A7        Em                  A7
  I don't feel any pain, no,    I don't feel any pain
Em                         A7     G
  I know it's coming back again tonight
