Intro: Bm G A Bm G A Bm


   Bm      G          A         Bm 
1. Take me now, baby, here as I am.
        G             A    Bm
Pull me close try and understand. 
          G              A      Bm
Desire is hunger, is the fire I breathe.
          G          A        Bm 
Love is a banquet on which we feed. 
G       A            D    A 
Come on now, try and understand
    Bm    G                     A 
the way I feel when I'm in your hand. 
D       G                A 
Take my hand; come under cover. 
     C                   Bm                  F#
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.

Refrain:

Bm      G                    A
Because the night    belongs to lovers.
Bm      G                    A  Bm
Because the night    belongs to lust.
        G                    A
Because the night    belongs to lovers.
Bm      G             A  Bm
Because the night    belongs to us.



2. Have I doubt when I'm alone? 
Love is a ring on the telephone. 
Love is an angel disguised as lust, 
here in our bed until the morning comes. 
Come on now, try and understand 
the way I feel under your command. 
Take my hand as the sun descends. 
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.

Refrain

D    A           D        A                   Bm   A 
3. With love we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turns and turns. 
D     A        Bm     A     D          A 
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
    G     D       G
I believe in time, too real to feel,
   Bm        D          G              F# 
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.

Refrain
