CHORDS W/LYRICS:
Tonight will Gmaj7be the night.
I'm going to Em9make this right.
I ran out the Gmaj7door so fast
They thought i Em9wouldn't come back.
Back to the Cmaj7same three days
Over and oD6/9ver again
Fraction of zEmero sum
Ad inCmaj7fi--ni--D6/9tum
all the reGmaj7gret i keep
all the misEm9takes i dread
exhausted from Gmaj7oversleep
awake but Em9still in bed
Ashamed of the Cmaj7things i've said
afraid of what's D6/9in my head
so under this Embridge i'll stay
and wait for the Cmaj7same three D6/9days to Gend.
I sob when i F#m#5speak, they're looking at Em7me
but i can't tell Cmaj7what they D6/9see.
My tGhoughts slow to a F#m#5crawl, i embrace the Em7fall
so i won't Cmaj7answer your D6/9calls.
It wasn't Gmaj7always this way
perpetually Em9in the gray
solace in Gmaj7empty fate
the years Em9evaporate
but within the hCmaj7arsh spotlight
i bury myD6/9self inside
cause every time Em9that i think
i Cmaj7let you D6/9go.
They will constGmaj7ruct this maze
of fear i Em9navigate
i'll attempt to Gmaj7parse my place
you'll define Em9everything
i'll finally Cmaj7shut my mouth
feel both my D6/9feet touch ground
put an end Em9to this run
just say the Cmaj7word and iD6/9'll jump
ENDING SECTION CHORDS  Before "to everyone" : 
 G   Cmaj7   Em   D6/9  D7
To Geveryone: yeah you were F#m#5right, i'll never get Em7better, and Cmaj7i'm sor-D6/9ry.
next Gtime, i won't sob when i F#m#5speak, i'll be at Em7peace
because it's not Cmaj7"want" it's D6/9"need"
ENDING SECTION DURING THE SCREAMING AND OOOOING: 
 G   Cmaj7   Em   D6/9   D7
I need to be D6/9someone D7else.Cmaj7
