Standard tuning
Comments: This is fast and based on a eight-note triplet feel. Most of the
riffs follow the guitars (and Paul might actually have played this himself)
but the verse is built on tension. First the bass plays "steady" open E's
under the changing chords of the rhythm guitar, and then it adds the fifth
to the Cmaj7 (at least that's what I think it is) which makes the resulting
return to the open E's a major relief. Beware all the repetitions and play
hard with a pick.
Key:
/ = slide up
= slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
() = Dive war
(/) = Release war
Tp = Tap wplectrum

In the night, I will be waitin'
Ready to go soon as the daylight is fadin'
In the night, my heart is beating
Out of control can't stop the way that I'm feeling
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]
I wanna know how far to go
Takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own fighting alone
Call me the desperate man
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
Danger, danger
Give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain
Boiling the blood in my veins

Give me nothing to stand in my way
I'll make the best of my days

In the night, oh, I can feel it
Time slips away if I can't pay I will steal it
In the night, I will be screamin'
Hour by hour livin' the life that I'm dreamin'
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 2]
Under the gun I'll be the one
Walking the edge of the knife
Taking the best, leaving the rest
I'm gonna run for my life
