Verse 1:  with Rhy Fig 1
Time is never time at all
you can never ever leave without leaving a piece
of youth
and our lives are forever changed
we will never be the same
the more you change the more you feel
believe, believe in me, believe
Am                    C                             G    D    Em
that life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
Am                    C
we're not the same, we're different tonight
Chorus:
C  B  D
tonight, so bright
tonight
G
And you know you're never sure
but you're sure you could be right
Em
if you held yourself up to the light
G
and the embers never fade in your city by the lake
Em
the place where you were born

with Rhy Fig 1  ( omit the 3rd Bar)
believe, believe in me, believe
Am              C               G    D    Em
in the resolute urgency of now
Am                         C              
and if you believe there's not a chance tonight
C  B   D
tonight, so bright
C   B   D         G    D    Em
tonight
Am                C            G    D    Em
we'll crucify the insincere tonight
Am                             C            G    D    Em
we'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
Am                   C               G    D    Em
we'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
Am                   C              G    D    Em
the indescribable moments of your life tonight
Am                 C        G    D    Em
the impossible is possible tonight
         Am                C
if you believe in me as I believe in you , tonight
End song with tonight tonight a few times while playing Rhy Fig 1(omit 3rd)
The last chords are   G    D    Em.  I find that you get a more dramatic exit
if you use D/F# instead of D.      Enjoy.      Alex Spitzer
