E
BACK IN THE NIGHT, I LAY DOWN BY YOUR FIRESIDE,
A E
BACK IN THE NIGHT, YOU SHOOK ME LIKE A LANDSLIDE,
B A
I NEARLY MISSED THE EARLY SHIFT,
E B
DREAMIN IN THE MORNING BOUT THE THINGS WE DID,
E
BACK IN THE NIGHT,
BACK IN THE NIGHT,
A
BACK IN THE NIGHT,
E
BACK IN THE NIGHT,
B A E
BENEATH YOUR LOVE LIGHT…
To get back to the E chord you can play down the scale from a B e.g. on the 4th fret 3rd string

B A G# F# E (TIMED DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA DA-DA DA)
I WOKE UP ON THE FLOOR, I ASKED YOU FOR SOME BREAKFAST,
YOU SHOVED ME OUT THE DOOR, I JUMPED ON TO THE LATE BUS,
I’VE GOT TO SMILE, I LIKE YOUR STYLE,
YOU PUT ME OUT THIS MORNING, BUT YOU KNOW THAT I'LL BE,
BACK IN THE NIGHT, BACK IN THE NIGHT,
BACK IN THE NIGHT, BACK IN THE NIGHT,
BENEATH YOUR LOVE LIGHT
SOLO OVER VERSE AND CHORUS
THE DAYS DRAGS BY SO SLOW, I FEEL JUST LIKE I´M DYING,
STOP WORK WHISTLE BLOWS, AND THEN I START REVIVING,
ACROSS YOUR YARD, BENEATH THE STARS,
I MADE IT THRU' ANOTHER DAY AND HERE WE ARE,
BACK IN THE NIGHT, BACK IN THE NIGHT,
BACK IN THE NIGHT, BACK IN THE NIGHT
BENEATH YOUR LOVE LIGHT
