  Fig. 1 Fig. 1
  Time is never time at all
  Fig. 1 Fig. 2
  You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth.
  Fig. 1 Fig. 1
  And our lives are forever changed,
  Fig. 1 Fig. 2
  We will never be the same; The more you change the less you feel.
  Fig. 1 Fig.1 Fig.1 G D Em
  Believe, believe in me, believe (believe)
  That life  can change, that you're  not stuck in vain
  We're not  the same, we're different  toniiiiiiiiiiiIIIight.
  Tonight,  tonight,  so bright
  ToniiiiiiiiiiiIIIight,  tonight
 
  And  you know you're never sure
  But sure you're sure you could be right
  If you held yourself up to the light
  And  the embers never fade in your city by the lake
  The place where you were born.
  Fig. 1 Fig.1 Fig.1 G D Em
  Believe, believe in me, believe (believe)
  In the resolute  urgency  of now
  And if you  believe there's not  a chance toniiiiiiiiiiiIIIight.
  Tonight,  tonight,  so bright
  Tonight, tonight.
  We'll crucify  the insincere  tonight  (tonight)
  We'll make  things right, we'll feel  it all tonight  (tonight)
  We'll find  a way to offer  up the night  (tonight)
  The indescribable  moments  of your life  (tonight)
  The impossible  is possible  tonight  (tonight)
   Fig. 1
  Believe in me as I believe in you.... tonight.
  Fig. 1 Fig.1 G D/FEm
  Tonight tonight, tonight, tonight.
 Looked for a tab for this recently and discovered that all the tabs were either
 missing alot, completely wrong or extremely hard to follow so I said I'd give it a proper go.
 First submitted tab but pretty sure its right.
 Sorry if the finger picking Fig. 1 and 2 stuff is a bit confusing.
 I just wanted to get across the idea of where the first note of it is every time.
 Let me know if you find any mistakes. Enjoy
