[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
EBest things in life don't come for fAree
BBest things in life always come uneExpectedly
EWell, we watch the clock and it comes as no Asurprise
BTill the day is late and Awe let out a sBighA  
'Cause Bwe know the night could Afall at any Etime
[Verse 2]
EWith scissors and a comb I cut my lAawn
And therBe's no one in the world I'm counting Eon
EThere's a war ragin' outside - I hope my grass stays gAreen
Till the Bday is late and Awe let out a scBreamA  
'Cause Bwe know the night could Afall down on its kEnees
[Bridge]
AWe don't know the prime lending rEate
And we C#mdon't know the pain of a broken Adate
DWe don't know what's wrong or what's Aright
N.C.          E  
We know the night...
We F#mknow the nEight
[Verse 3]
EYou can bust your back from now till the sun goes wAest
BBest things always cAome when your mind's at Erest
EIn the afternoon, my mind ain't sleepy
AIt's preoccupied…… (pause)
BTill the day is late and Awe let out a BsighA  
'Cause Bwe know the night could Afall at any tEime
YF#meah, we know the night could Afall at any tEime
We F#mknow the Enight...we F#mknow the nEight
