Tender Is The Night (The Long Fidelity)
AI knew him as a gentle youDng manA  
I cannot say for sure the reEasons for his deDclineA  
AWe watched him fade before our veDry eyesA  
EAnd years before his time
F#mAnd years before his timeD  
ASurrounded himself Dwith shiny thingsA  
First night tickEets, ermine, pearls upon Da stringA  
AAnd disappeared in all the peDstilenceA  
EThat sudden pleasure brings
F#m                                   D
EHe never asks after her anymore
He made Bma point of losing her DaddressF#m  
And every Etrinket that she ever tGouchedD  
He keeps locked awayD  
And just burns up Din the furnace of his cheDst
Well I spoke to Aa man who says he's done it all E  
And the only thinAg that pleases or excites him nowD  
Is hurAting, hurtiEng then hurting some moreA  
There's someone AI want to forget tonightE  
Don't you want to fF#morget someone too?D  
I Aleft him, and I can Eleave you tooA  
Baby let's go out tonightD  
It will all turn out all right I'm Asure
Don't want to drink at home again toniDght
So let's go outA  
Let's go out tDonight
It's getting dark earlier Anow
But where you are Dit's just getting lightA  
Where you arDe it will just be getting lightA  
D                 A
Baby let's go out tonightD  
It will all turn out all right I'm Asure
Don't want to drink at home again toniDght
So let's go outA  
Let's go out tDonight
It's getting dark earlier Anow
But where you are Dit's just getting lightA  
Where you arDe it will just be getting lightA

Tender Is The Night (The Long Fidelity)

A D A

I knew him as a gentle young man

E D A

I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

A D A

We watched him fade before our very eyes

And years before his time

F#m D

And years before his time

A D A

Surrounded himself with shiny things

E D A

First night tickets, ermine, pearls upon a string

A D A

And disappeared in all the pestilence

That sudden pleasure brings

F#m D

He never asks after her anymore

Bm D F#m

He made a point of losing her address

E G D

And every trinket that she ever touched

He keeps locked away

D D

And just burns up in the furnace of his chest

A E

Well I spoke to a man who says he's done it all

A D

And the only thing that pleases or excites him now

A E A

Is hurting, hurting then hurting some more

A E

There's someone I want to forget tonight

F#m D

Don't you want to forget someone too?

A E A

I left him, and I can leave you too

Baby let's go out tonight

It will all turn out all right I'm sure

Don't want to drink at home again tonight

So let's go out

Let's go out tonight

It's getting dark earlier now

D A

But where you are it's just getting light

D A

Where you are it will just be getting light

D A

Baby let's go out tonight

It will all turn out all right I'm sure

Don't want to drink at home again tonight

So let's go out

Let's go out tonight

It's getting dark earlier now

D A

But where you are it's just getting light

D A

Where you are it will just be getting light
