Capo 3
[Intro] (x4)
C Cadd4
[Verse 1]
C Cadd4
Who would've thought it would finish like this
C Cadd4
at the back of a bus at 2:36
C Cadd4
And you try to explain why things aren't the same
C Cadd4
you've grown up a little you haven't really changed
C Cadd4
And the song came on just before dawn
C Cadd4 C
you tried to catch sleep but she's run off to torment your mind
Cadd4 C
And you lie there awake and unnerved
C F G
and you really don't like the first verse
F
and you're thinking about the universe
[Chorus]
C Em F
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
C Em F
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
C Am G F
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
F C
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
F C
if you know where you are when you wake up
F G
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
[Instrumental] (x2)
C Cadd4
[Verse 2]
C Cadd4
Never knew it would take this long
C Cadd4
The same old streets, the same old songs
C Cadd4
The same wise words from old man John
C Cadd4
Where does he go now the grey horse is gone?
C Cadd4
Closed down the 12 bar last week
C Cadd4
I remember you dancing on Denmark Street
C Cadd4 C
Asking where we're going next
F G
Those are the days I'll always know best
F G
And they're ripping this city's heart out of it's chest
[Chorus]
F C Em F
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
C Em F
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
C Am G F
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
F C
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
F C
if you know where you are when you wake up
F G
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
[Instrumental] (x2)
C Cadd4
[Verse 3]
C Cadd4
It's just black 17 and red number 5
C Cadd4
ten minutes to the pound four years of your life
C Cadd4
Wish I could write a letter to the past
C Cadd4
A warning to say its gonna happen so fast
C Cadd4
Johnny used to say he believed in ghosts
C Cadd4
They were the little things that he loved the most
C Cadd4
Well we never got rich and we never got famous
C Cadd4
I heard Alice got married in Vegas
C Cadd4 C
If you see her won't you tell her that I said goodbye
F G
And I never forgot that fateful Valentine
F G
And I never forgot the tears in her eyes
[Chorus]
F C Em F
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
C Em F
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
C Am G F
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
F C
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
F C
if you know where you are when you wake up
F G
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
[Instrumental] (x4)
C Cadd4
[Bridge]
Am Em
Well if you blink then you'll miss it when the times are changing
F C
Cuz its out of fashion when its on TV
Am Em
Before you know it your eyes are ageing,
F F F
Your telling your kids, "That used to be me"
Am Em
Well we got off the bus a kiss on the cheek said
F C
"Maybe I'll give you a call next week"
Am G F
We both know those calls will never come
Am G F G
But as long as we're still breathing there'll be somewhere left to run
[Chorus]
F C Em F
Seize the night, let shadows run wild in your mind
C Em F
Seize the night, and do your best to lose track of time
C Am G F
Seize the night, and the path won't feel so long
F C
Cos if you know where you are when you wake up
F C
if you know where you are when you wake up
F G
if you know where you are when you wake up something's wrong
