[Verse 1]
G                         G
The sun is going down now
Em                    Em
Sinking like my heart
G                                  Em          D
Nights are getting longer now that we're apart
C                         Am                     Em
Darkness is a prison that holds me with your memory
D      C
  This time I'm getting out
  Am                          D
Before it comes and turns the key


[Chorus]
                       Em
I'm going to cheat the night
          D
So, I can make it until the morning's light
          C     D  G
Cheat the night


[Verse 2]
G                              Em
So, I'm dusting off my courage painting on a smile
      G                       Em                 D
Gonna try to find somebody to hold me for awhile
C                       Am                     Em   D
I don't need the moon reminding me that you're gone
C                  Am                Dsus4 D
Even if I'm lonely I’m not gonna be alone


[Chorus]
                       Em
I'm going to cheat the night
          D
So, I can make it until the morning's light
          C     D  G G
Cheat the night

[Verse 3]
C                    Am                     Em  D
Maybe if the evening finds me with somebody new
C                         Am                   Dsus4  D
I can make them think I'm finally getting over you
                Em
I can cheat the night
          Dsus4               D
So, I can make them think I'm doing alright
          C     Dsus4  G
Cheat the night


[Chorus]
                   D    Em
I'm going to cheat the night
          D
So, I can make them think I'm doing alright
          C     D  G
Cheat the night


[Chorus]
                D   Em
I’m gonna cheat the night
          D
So, I can make it until the morning's light
          C     Dsus4  G
Cheat the night


[Outro]
                   D    Em  Em D D C D G
I'm going to cheat the night
