[ intro ]
B A G ( 2x )

[ verse 1 ]
B A G
in the night i’m disappointed with your choice , as i’m right outside your door , and my
face is on the floor .
B A G
and you left me on the darker side of town , alone all by myself , no shadow spoken
tongues , faintly familiar
B A G
ones . and they bled the truth , and they screamed aloud that you , were a liar yes a liar .
B A G
well you took advantage of me yet again , or so they said , and i’d hang the moon for you ,
and i’d save the world for you .

[ pre – chorus ]
A B D A
and tonight and forever .
B C# D
tonight and tonight and forever .

[ chorus ]
C# D E
well i Am just a book , dusty on this shelf , worn and by myself , and the words inside don’t
B C# D
help . as i read my midnight pain , till you put me up again .

[ verse 2 ]
B A G
and the smile across my face is being forged , it’s nothing but a fake and it helps me to
not think .
B A G
and i know that you’re at home and on your mind , is nothing about my brown hair and
hazel eyes , i’m just trying to pass the
B A G
time . and the tears all sing aloud , without making a sound , you’re a sucker such a sucker .
B A G
it seems as if you want what you can’t get , and i’m nauseous and i’m sick , and i’ll get
into your mind so please get out of mine .

[ pre – chorus ]
A B D A
tonight and forever
B C# D
tonight , oh tonight , tonight and forever
