There's a bridge and a third verse that was thrown out early in rehearsals:

Em              F
Guarded well by stars and moon
Em                      C      D4*
I hope this night won't end to soon
Em           F               D   D4  D...
And the only thing I have to say

          G            D           C      D
is linger on (hope you stay) never let me down
       G            D           C      D
linger on (hope you stay) never let me down

G  D  D4  C5  D  D4 (2x)

G      D       D4 C5        D  D4
  Oh I love these nights in twos
G       D      D4 C5       D
  And I love your stinking shoes
    D4 G            D        D4   C5        D
And I  sink in your arms and your snub nose charms
    D4 G            D        D4 C5            D
And a  kiss on your lips and my drunken heart flips 

      D4  G            D           C      D
Oh linger on (hope you stay) never let me down
       G            D           C      D
linger on (hope you stay) never let me down
       G            D           C      D
linger on (hope you stay) never let me down
       G            D     C     D      G
linger on (hope you stay) never let me down
