 In the night  I'm disappointed with your choice,  as I'm right outside your door,  and my
 face is on the floor.
 And you left  me on the darker side of town,  alone all by myself,  no shadow spoken
 tongues, faintly familiar
ones.  And they bled the truth,  and they screamed aloud that you,  were a liar
  yes a liar.
 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.
 And tonight  and forever.
Tonight  and tonight  and forever.
 Well I am just a book,  dusty on this shelf,  worn and by myself,  and the words inside don't
help.  As I read my midnight pain,  till you put me up again.
 And the smile  across my face is being forged,  it's nothing but a fake  and it helps me to
 not think.
 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
time.  And the tears all sing aloud,  without making a sound,  you're a sucker… such a sucker.
 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.
Tonight  and forever
Tonight,  oh tonight,  tonight and forever
 And again, and again, and again
And  again, and again, and again,  and again, and again,  and again, and again, and again
 and again,  and again, and again,  and again, and again,  and again, and again, and again
 and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
 and again.

[B] [A] [G]

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

And [A]tonight and [B]forever.     [D]           [A]
[B]Tonight and [C#]tonight and [D]forever.

Well I am just a [C#]book, dusty on this s[D]helf, worn and by [E]myself, and the words inside don't
[B]help.  As I read my midnight [C#]pain, till you put me up [D]again.

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

[A]Tonight and [B]forever     [D]           [A]
[B]Tonight, oh [C#]tonight, tonight and [D]forever

And again, and again, and again
[B]And again, and again, and [A]again, and again, and [G]again, and again, and again, and again
and [B]again, and again, and [A]again, and again, and [G]again, and again, and again, and again

and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
and again.
