Intro: A Asus4
verse 1
A Asus4
Who would've thought it would finish like this
A Asus4
at the back of a bus at 2:36
A Asus4
And you try to explain why things aren't the same
A A
you've grown up a little you haven't really changed
A Asus4
And the song came on just before dawn
A Asus4
you tried to catch sleep but she's run off to torment your mind
A Asus4
And you lie there awake and unnerved
A D
and you really don't like the first verse
E D
and you're thinking about the universe
[Refrão]D A C#
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
D A C#
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
D A C# B A
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
D A
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
D A
if you know where you are when you wake up
D E
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
A Asus4 A Asus4
verse 2
A Asus4
Never knew it would take this long
A Asus4
The same old streets, the same old songs
A Asus4
The same wise words from old man John
A Asus4
Where does he go now the grey horse is gone?
A Asus4
Closed down the 12 bar last week
A Asus4
I remember you dancing on Denmark Street
A Asus4 A
Asking where we're going next
D E
Those are the days I'll always know best
D E
And they're ripping this city's heart out of it's chest
[Refrão]D A C#
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind

verse 3
A Asus4
It's just black 17 and red number 5
A Asus4
ten minutes to the pound four years of your life
A Asus4
Wish I could write a letter to the past
A Asus4
A warning to say its gonna happen so fast
A Asus4
Johnny used to say he believed in ghosts
A Asus4
They were the little things that he loved the most
A Asus4
Well we never got rich and we never got famous
A Asus4
I heard Alice got married in Vegas
A Asus4 A
If you see her won't you tell her that I said goodbye
D E
And I never forgot that fateful Valentine
D E
And I never forgot the tears in her eyes
