Alternate Take (The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3)
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
You can look out across the fields, see me returning.
                                    D
Smoke gets in your eyes, you draw a smile.
                                                   A
From the fireplace where now my letters to you are burning,
B                                       E
You’ve had time to think about it for a while.
A
I’ve walked two hundred miles, now look me over.
                                             D
It’s the end of the chase and the moon is high.
 
It don’t matter who loves who.
                   A                F#m
Either you’ll love me or I’ll love you
         A           E                A
When the night comes falling from the sky.
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
I can see through your walls and I know you’re hurting.
                            D
Sorrow covers you up like a cape.
                                  A
Only yesterday I know that you’ve flirting
B                                         E
With disaster that you somehow managed to escape.
A
Well, I can’t provide for you no easy answers.
                                  D
Who are you that I should have to lie?
 
You know everything, my love.
     A            F#m
Down below and up above.
         A           E                A
When the night comes falling from the sky.
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river.
                                       D
And recently you thought you’d seen it all.
                                                 A
But you’re disappointed now in those who did not deliver.
           B                             E
But it was you who set yourself up for a fall.
A
I’ve seen thousands who could have overcome the darkness.
                                                D
For the love of a lousy buck, I’ve watched them die.
 
Stick around, baby, we’re not through,
               A            F#m
Don’t look for me, I’ll see you.
         A           E                A
When the night comes falling from the sky.
 
 
[Verse 4]
A
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection.
                                    D
Luck was with me when I crossed the borderline.
                                              A
I don’t want to be a fool that’s starving for affection.
        B                               E
I don’t want to drown in someone else’s wine.
A
For all eternity I think I will remember
                                       D
That whirlpool of light that’s in your eye.
 
You will seek me and you’ll find
          A                 F#m
Me in the wasteland of your mind.
         A           E                A
When the night comes falling from the sky.
 
 
[Verse 5]
A
Well, I gave to you my heart like buried treasure
                                      D
But suffering seems to fit you like a glove
                                            A
I’m so tired of those who use for their own pleasure
          B                         E
Who think they’ve got a monopoly on love
A
Well, this time I’m asking for freedom,
                               D
Freedom from a world which you deny.
 
And you’ll give it to me now,
     A          F#m
Or I’ll take it anyhow.
         A           E                A
When the night comes falling from the sky.
