Am7

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
