Intro: Dm  C F Am Dm  F   
  
             C        Dm            F 
To the whole room her eyes are numb 
       G            C         Am 
As she reads from a true love story 
         Dm                               F 
From the pages of a book, her lover comes 
          G              C          
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story 
  
  
G                  Am            G 
Misty shape in the window by her bed 
  
Dreaming on what she's read 
               Am                 G 
Hero takes her hand and leads her through 
    
Who knows what this night will do 
  
 
C 
Only in the blue night, he comes to her 
G                      Am 
Only in the blue night 
                       
That's when the whole night belongs to her 
G      
Only in the blue night 
  
  
Dm                                    F 
I see a dark face by the moon's glow 
       G            C         Am 
As she reads from a true love story 
Dm                                        F 
Beckoning hand, scratching at the window 
          G              C          
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story 
  
  
G                  Am       
Misty path and the night is endless 
G 
She could be a Queen or a desert princess 
               Am                 G 
Hero takes her hand and leads her through 
  
Who knows what this night will do 
  
  
 
C          
Only in the blue night, he comes to her 
G                       Am 
Only in the blue night 
                         
That's when the whole night belongs to her 
G  
Only in the blue night 
  
  
  
C 
Only in the blue night 
            G                            Am 
Only in the blue night (only in the blue night) 
              
That's when the whole night belongs to her 
G                       D 
Only in the blue night 
  
  
Bridge: 
                   A     C 
She wants to break free 
              G             D 
From the cold light of reality 
                    A     C 
And then she drifts away 
           Am                B 
I hear her voice say, "Come away"
