Not Tonight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hurts so bad that you know it's
not [Em]sin ning.
[Am]The funny thing is it's just beginning
[G]to feel good.
[Am]And downstairs all your friends are wait[Em]ing,
They're talk[Am]ing low and filling
their stories with [G]an gels,

[Verse 2]
[Am]And they imagine interven[Em]ing in true c[Am]rime photos
and placing meaning [G]within them
[Am]From blue to red to black-and-white.
Don't [Em]Don't Don't [Am]look too long,
you'll be up all night [G]among them, the sud[Am]den dead.
The last thing he said [Em]was,

[Verse 3]
[Am]"You should have been here
before the camera arrived,
[G]Maybe I wouldn't have to die. But[Am] just
live out this long life [Em]jangling,
And [Am]as old men you could watch my hand dangling,
[G]cold and white."

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Baby, [C]don't wor[G]ry tonight; I know
it's [Dm]too ugly [C]to hold [G]yourself upright.
So [Am]fill a clean glass, cold [Em]and smooth. [Am]Take the reds,
then take the blues.
[G]Away, you can hear a voice

[Verse 5]
that's singing,
[Am]"an gels could come but you
wouldn't [Em]believe them,
[Am]And those that believe still can't
see them [G]anyway."
And The [Am]Suicide slides out [Em]of his skin
and he climb[Am]s inside of the bed
You're in and [G]touches your face.

[Verse 6]
[Am]He says "what right had I [Em]to die [Am]when all
these little cells just tried to keep me [G]alive?
What right had I to leave
the human race behind?
[Am]Do you really think you're [Em]bet ter,
with your [Am]shotgun and your suicide letter?
[G]Do you think you're right?

[Verse 7]
Well [Dm]baby, [C]don't wor[Am]ry tonight,
[G]I know it's too ugl[Dm]y to [C]hold yourself u[Am]pright.[G]
There's a [Dm]light from the front [C]room
as it's [G]filling with all of your friends.
It doesn't [Dm]get much [C]better t[G]ha[Dm]n this,[C]
and then [G]it ends."
