Tonight

Cm		     Bb
Do we have to fight again

  Ab
Tonight

Ab     Ab      Ab\G  F
I just want to go to sleep

Bb   Cm  Bb\D Eb
Turn out the  light

Eb      Eb\F    Eb\G  Ab
But you want to carry grudges

Ab	   Ab\G   F
Nine times out of ten

		  Bb
I see the storm approaching

Bb			    Ab      Cm\G G
Long before the rain starts falling


  Cm
Tonight

Cm		       Bb
Does it have to be the old thing

  Ab

Ab       Ab Ab\G    F
It's late,  too late

F	     Cm	     Bb\D        Eb 
To chase the rainbow that you're after

    Eb	    Eb\F   Eb\G  Ab
I'd like to find a compromise

    Ab	     Ab\G    F
And place it in your hands

F				 Bb
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear

Bb		      Ab   Cm\G G
And I cannot find the time

Just let the curtains close in silence

The man who'd love to see you smile
