[Strophe]
N.C.                      D    D7 
Take the ribbon from your hair 
                          G 
Shake it loose and let it fall 
                         A7 
Laying soft against your skin 
                        D    Dsus4  D 
Like the shadows on the wall
[Strophe]
                        D    D7 
Come and lay down by my side 
                       G 
'Til the early morning light 
                       A7 
All I'm taking is your time 
                            D     D7 
Help me make it through the night
[Refrain]
                             G 
I don't care what's right or wrong 
                    D 
I won't try to understand 
                     E7 
Let the devil take tomorrow 
                      A 
"Cuz tonight I need a friend
[Strophe]
                      D    D7 
Yesterday is dead and gone 
                           G 
And tomorrow is out of the sight 
                    A7 
And it's sad to be alone 
                            D 
Help me make it through the night
[Refrain]
                             G 
I don't care what's right or wrong 
                    D 
I won't try to understand 
                     E7 
Let the devil take tomorrow 
                      A 
'Cuz tonight I need a friend

Help me make it through the night
