[Intro]
B A G (2x)
[Verse 1]
B A G
In the night I'm disappointed with your choice, as I'm right outside your door, and my
face is on the floor.
B A G
And you left me on the darker side of town, alone all by myself, no shadow spoken
tongues, faintly familiar
B A G
ones. And they bled the truth, and they screamed aloud that you, were a liar… yes a liar.
B A G
Well you took advantage of me yet again, or so they said, and I'd hang the moon for you,
and I'd save the world for you.
[Pre-chorus]
A B D A
And tonight and forever.
B C# D
Tonight and tonight and forever.
[Chorus]
C# D E
Well I am just a book, dusty on this shelf, worn and by myself, and the words inside don't
B C# D
help. As I read my midnight pain, till you put me up again.
[Verse 2]
B A G
And the smile across my face is being forged, it's nothing but a fake and it helps me to
not think.
B A G
And I know that you're at home and on your mind, is nothing about my brown hair and
hazel eyes, I'm just trying to pass the
B A G
time. And the tears all sing aloud, without making a sound, you're a sucker… such a sucker.
B A G
It seems as if you want what you can't get, and I'm nauseous and I'm sick, and I'll get
into your mind so please get out of mine.
[Pre-chorus]
A B D A
Tonight and forever
B C# D
Tonight, oh tonight, tonight and forever
[Chorus]
And again, and again, and again
B A G
And again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
B A G
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
and again.

In the night I'm disappointed with your choice
As I'm right outside your door
And my face is on the floor
And you left me on the darker side of town
Alone all by myself, no shadow spoken tongues
Faintly familiar ones
And they bled the truth
And they screamed aloud that you
were a liar. Yes a liar.
Well you took advantage of me yet again
Or so they said
And I'd hang the moon for you.
And I'd save the world for you
And tonight and forever
Tonight and tonight and forever.
Well I am just a book
Dusty on this shelf
Worn and by myself
And the words inside don't help.
As I read my midnight pain
Til you put me up again
And the smile across my face is being forged
It's nothing but a fake and it helps me to not think
And I know that you're at home and on your mind
is nothing about my brown hair and hazel eyes.
I'm just trying to pass the time
And the tears all sing aloud, without making a sound
�You're a sucker, such a sucker.�
It seems as if you want what you can't get
And I'm nauseous and I'm sick
And I'll get into your mind so please get out of mine
Tonight and forever
Tonight, oh tonight, tonight and forever
Well I am just a book
I'm dusty on this shelf
I'm worn and by myself
And the words inside don't help
As I read my midnight pain
Til you put me up again
Well I am just a book, dusty on this shelf
I'm worn and by myself
And the words inside don't help
As I read my midnight pain
Til you put me up again
And again, and again, and again, and again....
