Since this song hasn't been tabbed on this site yet, I figured I'd take a shot at it.
The strumming pattern is pretty easy enough, just listen to the song. The solo is about
95% right, but there are a few places where it's a little iffy. Just go with it.
VERSE I:
You're the [C]silent type[F]
And you [C]caught my eye[F]
But I [C]never thought that [A]I'd
Be touchin' [G]you[F]
How was [C]I to know[F]
I'd let my [C]feelings go[F]
And that [C]I'd be yours [A]before
The night was [G]through [F] yeah!

[Eb]One night [Eb/D]love affair

VERSE II:
When the [C]morning breaks[F]
We'll go our [C]seperate ways[F]
If the [C]night was made for [A]love
It ain't for [G]keeps[F]
Now I [C]lose control[F]
As I [C]watch you go[F]
All my [C]senses say I'm [A]in this
