Em7
Everybody's singing the same song
E
It goes "tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight" (tonight)
Em/G E
I never realized these artists thought so much about dying
...
Em7
But truth be told we all have the same end
E
Could make you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Em/G
But I'm telling you
E
This is the best news you're getting all week
...
Em7
Oh sure it's ruling the airwaves
E
What remains of the airwaves
Em/G E
And we're frankly thankful for the market psychology you're hipping us to
...
Em7
And all the hits are saying the same thing
Em E
There's only tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (tonight)
Em/G
And life is finite
Em7 E
But shit, it feels like forever
E
It feels like forever
(ah)
...
Em7
Oh is everybody feeling the same stuff?
Em7 E (E)
We're all wild
Em7
Except for you
Em7
And you know who you are
Em7 E (E)
This is a love song
...
Em7
And you're getting older
Em7 Em7 E
I promise you this; you're getting older
(E) (E)
And there's improvements unless
Em7
You're such a winner
Em7 Em7
That the future's a nightmare
E
And there's nothing I can do
(E) (E)
Nothing anyone can do about this
Em/G A
And oh, oh
E G A
I'm offering you a chance to get even
Em/G A
And oh, oh
E G A
you know very well the dialect of negation
Em/G A
Sure enemies haunt you with spit and derision
E G A
But friends are the ones who can put you in an exile
G A E
But that's not right
E
...
Em/G
And you're too sharp to be used
Em7
Or you're too shocked from being used
Em/G
By these bullying children of the fabulous
Em7
Raffling off limited edition shoes
...
Em/G
And what's it you do again?
(Em7)
Oh I'm a reminder
(Em7)
The hobbled veteran of the disk shop inquisition
(Em7)
Set to parry the cocksure of men's sick filth
(Em7)
With my own late era middle-aged ramblings
...
Em7
Every lover favors the same things
Em E
It's all "touch me, touch me, touch me" (touch me tonight)
Em7 E
We maybe realize what it is we need before we die
...
Em/G
And luck is always better than skill at things
E
We're flying blind
...
Em/G
Oh good gracious
Em7
I sound like my mom!
...
Em/G A
But out of the little rooms and onto the streets
E G (G) A
You've lost your internet and we've lost our memory
Em/G A
We had a paper trail that led to our secrets
E G (G) A
But embarrassing pictures have now all been deleted
Em/G A
By versions of selves that we thought were the best ones
E G (G) A
'Till versions of versions of others repeating
Em/G A
Come laughing at everything we thought was important
E G (G) A
While still making mistakes that you thought you had learned from
Em/G A
And reasonable people know better than you
E G (G) A
That cost in the long run but they don't know the short game
Em/G A
And terrible people know better than you
E G (G) A
They're used and abused of the once so dear listener
Em/G A
So you will be badgered and taunted and told that
E G (G) A
You're missing a party that you'll never get over
Em/G A
You hate the idea that you're wasting your youth
E G (G) A
That you stood in the background oh until you got older
Em7 A E
But that's all lies
G A E
That's all lies
E
