Verse: 
Em                                       Cmaj7 
We hold in our hearts the sword and the faith 
                                                                                          
           Em                                            Cmaj7 
Swelled up from the rain, clouds move like a wraith 
         G            C/G 
Well after all, we'll lie another day 
                G 
And through it all 
       C/G            Cmaj7 
We'll find some other way 
         Em                        Cmaj7 
To carry on through cartilage and fluid 
          Em                        C 
And did you come to stare, or wash away the blood? 
     G              D/F# 
Well tonight, well tonight 
        Em 
Will it ever come? 
           C 
Spend the rest of your days 
       G/B                Am7 
Rocking out just for the dead 
      G     D/F# 
Well tonight 
        Em 
Will it ever come? 
               C     G/B            Am7 
I can see you awake anytime, in my head 
Interlude: 
      Cmaj7        Am7 
Did we all fall down? {x4} 
                       Cmaj7 
From the lights to the pavement 
 
From the van to the floor 
                       Am7 
From backstage to the doctor 
 
From the Earth to the morgue 
 
Morgue, morgue, morgue!!!! 
 
Chorus: 
     G              D/F# 
Well tonight, well tonight 
        Em 
Will it ever come? 
           C 
Spend the rest of your days 
       G/B                Am7 
Rocking out just for the dead 
      G     D/F# 
Well tonight 
        Em 
Will it ever come? 
               C     G/B            Am7 
I can see you awake anytime, in my head 
 
 
Outro: 
          Am7 
All fall down 
            G   D/F#  Cmaj7   G/B    Am7

Well after all...
