TEARS FOR FEARS: "GOODNIGHT SONG"
(Roland Orzabal / Alan Griffiths)
from the album Elemental


Intro:
------
F
C/E
C
F
C/E
C, Am


Verse one:
-------------
              F                       C/E
Here on    the stage the time has come
F                                 C/E
    With the strains on "Be My Angel" of rock in 2/4
F                            C/E
Time may keep alive that old swan song
C                              Am               Gsus4
    That we've been playing forever
                 Am                            C
'Till the time may be right to say goodbye
F                                  C/E       Am
     My voice is aching,        I'm tongue tired,
F                                                            G
    And the sounds we are making are so...


Chorus:
----------
F
Goodnight song
C                Am
   Played so   wrong
F                            C/E
   Blame the crowd
          Am
They scream so loud so long

Dm, C


Verse two:
--------------
Fmaj7
        Get some honesty
                    Gsus4  G                  Am
Take the best of me and then the rest let go
                    Fmaj7
In every situation with its tireless rage
              Gsus4             G               Am
Step outside your cage and let the real fool show (the real fool show)
  Dm9
I should have stayed 'round to break the ice
                            G
I thought about it once or twice
          Am                                                            A
But nothing ever changes unless there's some pain and our...


(Chorus -- repeat to fade)
