Verse 1

A
The sky is dark, the wind is cold
A                                      G
The night is young before it's old and grey
        F      D
We will know
                 A
The thrill of it all
A
The time has come, it's getting late
A                                    G
It's now or never, don't hesitate or stall
       F
When I call
      D
Don't spoil
                 A
The thrill of it all

Bridge

Eb                       Gm
    And before you go to sleep at night
Eb                            Gm
    Preying shadows - do they ask you why?
Eb                                 Gm
    And in the morning through the afternoon
Eb                             Gm
    Do you wonder where you're going to?

Refrain

A
Oh - oh - oh - oh
G         F
Oh - oh - oh - oh
D         A
Oh - oh - oh - oh

Verse 2

A
Every word I use, each crumpled page
A
Strange ideas mature with age
     G
Like leaves
     F
When autumn falls
     D                              A
Turn gold then they hit the ground
A
Every time I hear the latest sound
A
It's pure whiskey reeling round and around
   G
My brain
        F
Oh and all o' that jive
                D
It's driving me wild
          A
The dizzy spin I'm in
A
Everywhere I look I see your face
A
I hear your name, it's all over the place
 G
Hey girl
              F
Though you've gone
        D
Still I recall
                 A
The thrill of it all

Bridge

Eb                                  Gm
     You might as well know what is right for you
Eb                                 Gm
     And make the most of what you like to do
Eb                                  Gm
     For all the pleasure that's surrounding you
Eb                                    Gm
     Should compensate for all you're going through

Refrain

A
Oh - oh - oh - oh
G         F
Oh - oh - oh - oh
D         A
Oh - oh - oh - oh

Verse 3

             A
So if you're feeling fraught with mental strain
A
Too much thinking's got you down again
              G
Well let your senses skip
F
Stay hip
     D
Keep cool
                    A
To the thrill of it all
A
When you try too much you lose control
A
Pressure rises and so I'm told
            G
Something's got to give
   F
Oy vey
          D
High life ecstasy
                  A
You might as well live
A
I can't see, I can't speak
A
I couldn't take more than another week
    G            F
Without you - oh no
          D
So I will drink my fill
                   A
Till the thrill is you

Refrain

A
Oh the thrill of it all
G                   F
Oh the thrill of it all
D
No I won't forget
                 A
The thrill of it all

Outro
