[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

[Chorus]

And again, and again, and again
B                         A                     G
And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
    B                     A                     G
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
