[Verse]
Em                                      Cmmaj7
We hold in our hearts the sword and the faith
Em                                        Cmmaj7
Swelled up from the rain, clouds move like a wraith
            G                      C/G
Well after all, we'll lie another day
                G
And through it all
       C/G            Cmaj7
We'll find some other way
         Em                        Cmaj7
To carry on through cartilage and fluid
             Em                     C
And did you come to stare, or wash away the blood?
[Chorus]
       G             D/F#
Well tonight, well tonight
        Em
Will it ever come?
                C
Spend the rest of your days
         G/B         Am7
Rocking out just for the dead
       G   D/F#
Well tonight
        Em
Will it ever come?
               C        G/B        Am7
I can see you awake any time, in my head
[Bridge]
       Cmaj7       Am7
Did we all fall down? (x4)
                       Cmaj7
From the lights to the pavement
From the van to the floor
                       Am7
From backstage to the doctor
From the Earth to the morgue
                  G
Morgue, morgue, morgue!!!!
[Chorus]
       D/F#
Well tonight
        Em
Will it ever come?
                C
Spend the rest of your days
         G/B         Am7
Rocking out just for the dead
       G   D/F#
Well tonight
        Em
Will it ever come?

I can see you awake any time, in my head

All fall down
