Intro: G  Em  G  Em  D 

G 
Tonight 
Looking back on all this life. 
                             Cmaj7 
It's funny how the time goes by 
    D       Cmaj7 
And how sometimes 
    D 
It slides 
G 
Away. 

Time 
Sliding through the dead of night. 
Shaken 'till you start to cry 
Your eyes 
Won't dry 
'Till the light 
Of day. 

    C 
And sleep 
      D 
Pain away. 
             Em 
Don't let it go 
             G 
Don't let it fade. 
     C          D 
Your dreams may cave 
            Em 
And falling apart 
            G 
Is the only way 
   C 
We go 
  D 
Solo 
     C 
When you 
      D 
Don't know 
  G    G  Em  G  Em  D 
I will. 
I will. 

And if you go 
Take a little piece of me. 
Hang it by the place you sleep 
And dream 
Of me 
Don't leave. 

Sleep 
Pain away. 
Don't let it go 
Don't let it fade. 
Your dreams may cave 
And falling apart 
Is the only way 
We go 
Solo 
When you 
Don't know 
I will. 

(Instrumental: Same chords as chorus) 

We go 
Solo 
When you 
Don't know 
I will. 
I will. 

Tonight 
Looking back on all this life. 
It's funny how the time goes by 
And how sometimes 
It slides 
Away.
