A                             D
  How long            since I got some sleep
A                             D
  How long since she grew her hair to keep
A                             D
  The night      from getting colder for
A                             D        Dm
  The owl     living upon her shoulder


CHORUS

F#m                    B                   Dm        A
  'Cause one way or the other she will      drink my blood like wine
F#m                    B                   Dm        A
  The only question   left is whether that day the   horns will sound
F#m                    B                   Dm        A
  And one way or the    other it will       keep me  dragging on
                    D
  For hell knows how long


VERSE

A                          D
  And now the carnival band is gone
A                                                      D
  This land reaching from the riverside where it begins to the hour where it ends   
                Dm
  It belongs to me or at least that's what she pretends


CHORUS

F#m                    B                   Dm        A
  'Cause one way or the other she will      drink my blood like wine
F#m                    B                   Dm        A
  The only question   left is whether that day the   horns will sound
F#m                    B                   Dm        A
  And one way or the    other it will       keep me  dragging on
                    D
  For hell knows how long


OUTRO

F#m                                          D
  Like the oldest was sent ahead of the other
                               A
  In the middle of a small town where everybody sleeps with friend and enemy
     E                (F)  F#m
  one after the other

F#m                                          D
  Yeah baby     that's where we were         born for each other
A                E                 (F) F#m


F#m               D                            A
  Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways
     E                               (F)  F#m
  To choose a mood and have it replaced
