Streetlight Manifesto - On And On And On

for those looking to play this song on an acoustic guitar this was how i sounded it out .

intro ( sounds strange because of brass section )
C – G – Am – F
C – G – F – G

C G
i still remember that night it was the fourth of july

Am E F
still engraved in my mind and i’m not sur – prised

F C
gang wars no guns hand to hand

F G C
you’re black i’m white he’s purple but i still don’t under – stand

C G
i’m gonna be alright i’m gonna be okay

Am C F
everything is going to be fi – i – i – i – ine

F C
back off cause i wanna be alone

F G F
i want to think it out and i’m thinking that i want to go home .

F Am
look who’s laughing now .

F G
i’ll pull it off somehow .
( chorus )
F G C Am F
as i passed her by , i could see her cry – y – y

F G C Am
and i’ll never forget the look that was in her eye

F G C Am
and the music you know it played on & and on & on

Am F G C
so won’t somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on .

C – G – Am – F
C – G – F – G

C G
3 years 2 months 1 week 4 days

Am E F
i’m always counting down cause there ain’t no easier way

F C
trust me you know that i tried

F G C
and if i said it was easy then you know that i told a lie .

C G Am
i’m going to be al – right

Am C F
i’m going to be just fine .

F C
one down five billion to go .

F G F
Am i the next in line and do i really want to know?

F Am
look who’s laughing now .

F G
i’ll pull it off somehow .
( chorus )
F G C Am F
as i passed her by , i could see her cry – y – y

F G C Am
and i’ll never forget the look that was in her eye

F G C Am
and the music you know it played on & and on & on

Am F G C
so won’t somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on .

___________
the rest of the song is repetition of all of the same chords mostly with just the two
back to back .
if you look up the lyrics or listen to the song you’ll see what i mean but its pretty
to figure out .
