Lyrics and Chords

Intro:
Am ...
(Whispered)
"Help me Kilroy... Tonight we'll make history"
"I hear you Jonathan... Meet me at the Paradise"

Am D Am E | Am Am E E ...
F A# D Am | G G F Am
F A# D Am | C G F Am | Am E Am E

Verse 1:
Am                   G
  This could be the longest night
      Am          G
In recorded history
Am                       G
  And as for sleep, you might as well just cross it
         Am           G
Off the list of possibilities

  C                        D
(Now) I'm as brave as the next man
C                              D
  I won't turn and run from a fight
Am             G              Am
  And I could last a million years
      C          D          Am
If I just get through this night

     G                Am
Ohhh oh ohhh oh oh oh oh oh

Verse 2:
Am              G
  I could be a novelist
      Am            G
Tell secrets never heard
Am                G
  Pour my soul into each and every sentence
       Am                  G
But I just can't find the words

C                          D
  Still I know that you're out there
C                          D
  And you can relate to it all
Am                      G               Am
  And I could bear the cold and stormy winter
      C          D          Am
If I just get through this fall

     G                Am
Ohhh oh ohhh oh oh oh oh oh

Chorus:
            F                           E
Don't you know there's no place on this Earth
               Am
Where you can run to escape the pain of a broken heart
F                                E                   Am
  It's useless to spend the time   it takes you to try
               F
But can't you see that I'm here
         E
And I'm looking just the same
                     F ->
And I don't know why-y...

Instrumental:

Verse 3:
Am              G
  I could be a movie star
     Am           G
The king of Hollywood
Am                   G
  Make them cry, dramatically pretending
    Am            G
To keep romance alive

C                                D
  And I would humbly thank my director
C                                  D
  And everyone involved from the start
Am          G             Am
  I could blow them all away
       C     D        Am
If I'd only find the part

Coda:
     G         D          G          Am
Ohhh oh, if I just get through this night
     G         Dm          G            Am
Ohhh oh, if I just get through this... night...
