Bm7
Everybody's singing the same song
B
It goes "tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight" (tonight)
Bm/D B
I never realized these artists thought so much about dying
...
Bm7
But truth be told we all have the same end
B
Could make you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Bm/D
But I'm telling you
B
This is the best news you're getting all week
...
Bm7
Oh sure it's ruling the airwaves
B
What remains of the airwaves
Bm/D B
And we're frankly thankful for the market psychology you're hipping us to
...
Bm7
And all the hits are saying the same thing
Bm B
There's only tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (tonight)
Bm/D
And life is finite
Bm7 B
But shit, it feels like forever
B
It feels like forever
(ah)
...
Bm7
Oh is everybody feeling the same stuff?
Bm7 B (B)
We're all wild
Bm7
Except for you
Bm7
And you know who you are
Bm7 B (B)
This is a love song
...
Bm7
And you're getting older
Bm7 Bm7 B
I promise you this; you're getting older
(B) (B)
And there's improvements unless
Bm7
You're such a winner
Bm7 Bm7
That the future's a nightmare
B
And there's nothing I can do
(B) (B)
Nothing anyone can do about this
Bm/D E
And oh, oh
B D E
I'm offering you a chance to get even
Bm/D E
And oh, oh
B D E
you know very well the dialect of negation
Bm/D E
Sure enemies haunt you with spit and derision
B D E
But friends are the ones who can put you in an exile
D E B
But that's not right
B
...
Bm/D
And you're too sharp to be used
Bm7
Or you're too shocked from being used
Bm/D
By these bullying children of the fabulous
Bm7
Raffling off limited edition shoes
...
Bm/D
And what's it you do again?
(Bm7)
Oh I'm a reminder
(Bm7)
The hobbled veteran of the disk shop inquisition
(Bm7)
Set to parry the cocksure of men's sick filth
(Bm7)
With my own late era middle-aged ramblings
...
Bm7
Every lover favors the same things
Bm B
It's all "touch me, touch me, touch me" (touch me tonight)
Bm7 B
We maybe realize what it is we need before we die
...
Bm/D
And luck is always better than skill at things
B
We're flying blind
...
Bm/D
Oh good gracious
Bm7
I sound like my mom!
...
Bm/D E
But out of the little rooms and onto the streets
B D (D) E
You've lost your internet and we've lost our memory
Bm/D E
We had a paper trail that led to our secrets
B D (D) E
But embarrassing pictures have now all been deleted
Bm/D E
By versions of selves that we thought were the best ones
B D (D) E
'Till versions of versions of others repeating
Bm/D E
Come laughing at everything we thought was important
B D (D) E
While still making mistakes that you thought you had learned from
Bm/D E
And reasonable people know better than you
B D (D) E
That cost in the long run but they don't know the short game
Bm/D E
And terrible people know better than you
B D (D) E
They're used and abused of the once so dear listener
Bm/D E
So you will be badgered and taunted and told that
B D (D) E
You're missing a party that you'll never get over
Bm/D E
You hate the idea that you're wasting your youth
B D (D) E
That you stood in the background oh until you got older
Bm7 E B
But that's all lies
D E B
That's all lies
B
