C                          F
Hmmm the searchin' fingers of the dawn 
    G                               C
Are slowly creepin' up the eastern sky
                        F
So I won't disturb your sleep 
              G                                 C
And I'll just touch your cheek and leave without goodbye

        F
Hmm but if you find regrets are waitin' for ya 
In the early mornin' light
    G                        F   
Ah, don't blame yourself and don't blame me
    G            F                 C     Bb F  C  Bb F
For we were only victims of the night


C                          F
Before you cuss the morning sun just pause 
    G                               C
And wonder are we really wrong
                        F
How many other lovers are awaking 
        G              C
to face their own gray dawn

        F
And they must also answer probin' questions 
When the morning killed the night
    G                        F   
Yeah should they regret or could it be 
    G            F                 C     Bb F  C  Bb F
We all were only victims of the night


C                          F
As I leave you now you're smilin' 
    G                               C
And I know that I'm gonna remember you that way
                        F
I don't need hasty promises to cling to 
    G                  C
As I go to face that day

        F
I only hope that I'll awake to find the embers 
Still are burning bright
    G                        F   
And perhaps someday I'll find you and be grateful 
    G            F                 C     Bb F  C  Bb F
We were victims of the night
