[Intro]
 B   A   G(2x)
[Verse 1]
In the Bnight I'm disappointed with your Achoice, as I'm right outside your Gdoor, and my 
face is on the floor.
And you Bleft me on the darker side of Atown, alone all by Gmyself, no shadow spoken 
tongues, faintly familiar
Bones.  And they bled the truthA, and they screamed aloud that Gyou, were a liar… yes a liar.
Well you Btook advantage of me yet Aagain, or so they Gsaid, and I'd hang the moon for you, 
and I'd save the world for you.
[Pre-chorus]
And Atonight and Bforever.D  A  
BTonight and C#tonight and Dforever.
[Chorus]
Well I am just a C#book, dusty on this sDhelf, worn and by Emyself, and the words inside don't
Bhelp.  As I read my midnight C#pain, till you put me up Dagain.
[Verse 2]
And the Bsmile across my face is being Aforged, it's nothing but a Gfake and it helps me to 
not think.
And I Bknow that you're at home and on your Amind, is nothing about Gmy brown hair and 
hazel eyes, I'm just trying to pass the
Btime.  And the tears all sing Aaloud, without making a Gsound, you're a sucker… such a sucker.
It Bseems as if you want what you can't Aget, and I'm nauseous and I'm Gsick, and I'll get 
into your mind so please get out of mine.
[Pre-chorus]

BTonight, oh C#tonight, tonight and Dforever
[Chorus]
And again, and again, and again
BAnd again, and again, and Aagain, and again, and Gagain, and again, and again, and again
and Bagain, and again, and Aagain, and again, and Gagain, and again, and again, and again
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, 
and again.
