actually are note wise.
Intro:
            
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much to bright
We only come out at night 
and once again, you'll pretend to know me well, my friends
and once again, i'll pretend to know the way
thru the empty space
thru the secret places of the heart 
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much to bright
We only come out at night 
i walk alone, i walk alone to find the way home
i'm on my own, i'm on my own to see the ways
that i can 't help the days, you will make it home o.k.
i know you can, and you can
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much to bright
We only come out at night 
and once again, you'll pretend to know that
that there's an end, that there's an end to this begin 
it will help you sleep at night
it will make it seem that right is always right
alright
We only come out at night
We only come out at night
The days are much to bright
D Am G G7 G ...fade...
We only come out at night
I did this b/c the other tabs had the right notes but the wrong octaves.
With the capo it sounds right to me. Thanx to Peter.Henderson@pconline.gryn.org
for doing the transcription that I based this off of (you did the hard part).
I just rearranged it a bit.
