[Intro]
 
C  C2  C  C2  F C  C2  C  C2  F  C  C2  C  C2
 
[Verse 1]
 
      C                                            C2
Don't talk to her when shooting stars are falling
      C                       C2                F       C
Don't talk to her when she can smell the jasmine in the air
      G                       G6                  C    C2
Don't talk to her when no one knows you're calling
                  G                                  F          F2 F F2
'Cause you might just say the words that keep her waiting there
 
[Verse 2]
 
      C                                       C2
Don't talk to her when she is softly sleeping
      C               C2                     F          C
Don't wake her to the sound of your voice whispering her name
      G                      G6                   C    C2
Don't tell her all the secrets you've heen keeping
                 G                           F
Don't tell her that you're drowning in a river of shame
 
[Chorus]
 
F2                   G/B
When the wolf is howling
C                  G/B
Underneath the moon
C                    G/B
Underneath the window
C           G/B
Of a hotel room
C          G/B
Burn the blanket
C              G/B
Shoot the light
C         F                   C  C2  C  F
But don't talk to her at night
 
[Verse 3]
 
      C                                      C2
Don't talk to her in thunder or in lightning
      C                          C2           F       C
Don't talk to her with fuses blown and wires falling down
      G                        G6              C   C2
Don't talk to her when the fever is frightening
                  G                       F
When she's burning in the bedroom in an evening gown
 
[Chorus]
 
F2                     G/B
Or when the wolf is howling
C                  G/B
Underneath the moon
C                    G/B
Underneath the window
C           G/B
Of a hotel room
C          G/B
Burn the blanket
C              G/B
Shoot the light
C         F                   C  C2
But don't talk to her at night
C         F               C   C2  C  F
Don't talk to her at night.

[Chorus]
 
F2                   G/B
When the wolf is howling
C                  G/B
Underneath the moon
C                    G/B
Underneath the window
C           G/B
Of a hotel room
C          G/B
Burn the blanket
C              G/B
Shoot the light
C         F                   C  C2
But don't talk to her at night
C     F                    C  C2
Don't talk to her at night.
C     F                  C  C2
Don't talk to her at night.
C     F                   C
Don't talk to her at night.
