Am7
Everybody's singing the same song
A
It goes "tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight" (tonight)
Am/C A
I never realized these artists thought so much about dying
...
Am7
But truth be told we all have the same end
A
Could make you cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Am/C
But I'm telling you
A
This is the best news you're getting all week
...
Am7
Oh sure it's ruling the airwaves
A
What remains of the airwaves
Am/C A
And we're frankly thankful for the market psychology you're hipping us to
...
Am7
And all the hits are saying the same thing
Am A
There's only tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight (tonight)
Am/C
And life is finite
Am7 A
But shit, it feels like forever
A
It feels like forever
(ah)
...
Am7
Oh is everybody feeling the same stuff?
Am7 A (A)
We're all wild
Am7
Except for you
Am7
And you know who you are
Am7 A (A)
This is a love song
...
Am7
And you're getting older
Am7 Am7 A
I promise you this; you're getting older
(A) (A)
And there's improvements unless
Am7
You're such a winner
Am7 Am7
That the future's a nightmare
A
And there's nothing I can do
(A) (A)
Nothing anyone can do about this
Am/C D
And oh, oh
A C D
I'm offering you a chance to get even
Am/C D
And oh, oh
A C D
you know very well the dialect of negation
Am/C D
Sure enemies haunt you with spit and derision
A C D
But friends are the ones who can put you in an exile
C D A
But that's not right
A
...
Am/C
And you're too sharp to be used
Am7
Or you're too shocked from being used
Am/C
By these bullying children of the fabulous
Am7
Raffling off limited edition shoes
...
Am/C
And what's it you do again?
(Am7)
Oh I'm a reminder
(Am7)
The hobbled veteran of the disk shop inquisition
(Am7)
Set to parry the cocksure of men's sick filth
(Am7)
With my own late era middle-aged ramblings
...
Am7
Every lover favors the same things
Am A
It's all "touch me, touch me, touch me" (touch me tonight)
Am7 A
We maybe realize what it is we need before we die
...
Am/C
And luck is always better than skill at things
A
We're flying blind
...
Am/C
Oh good gracious
Am7
I sound like my mom!
...
Am/C D
But out of the little rooms and onto the streets
A C (C) D
You've lost your internet and we've lost our memory
Am/C D
We had a paper trail that led to our secrets
A C (C) D
But embarrassing pictures have now all been deleted
Am/C D
By versions of selves that we thought were the best ones
A C (C) D
'Till versions of versions of others repeating
Am/C D
Come laughing at everything we thought was important
A C (C) D
While still making mistakes that you thought you had learned from
Am/C D
And reasonable people know better than you
A C (C) D
That cost in the long run but they don't know the short game
Am/C D
And terrible people know better than you
A C (C) D
They're used and abused of the once so dear listener
Am/C D
So you will be badgered and taunted and told that
A C (C) D
You're missing a party that you'll never get over
Am/C D
You hate the idea that you're wasting your youth
A C (C) D
That you stood in the background oh until you got older
Am7 D A
But that's all lies
C D A
That's all lies
A
