INTRO:  G  Am  G  C  


VERSE:
G    Am       
  Today 
 G   C       G
You felt so numb.
           Am           G    C
All your nerves came undone.
G                Am
  You're running to a halt.
G                C           G
  Your days are much more finite.
           Am               G
They speed by like railway cars
C                              
So we're singing,


CHORUS:
G
"Won't let tonight pass me by.
                          Em       
Won't see with paralyzed eyes.
       D                   G
No, I won't be a slave to time."


VERSE:
G    Am
  Tonight 
G    C     G
 We fight back  
G          Am                   G     C
  Swollen fists and swallowed pride.
G             Am                  G
  Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up,
              C                 G
Shout at the moon, laugh at ourselves.
             Am             G
The hand of fate takes it away 
               C                 G
We're staring life right in the face.


CHORUS:
G
 Won't let tonight pass me by.
                          Em
Won't see with paralyzed eyes.
       D                   G
No, I won't be a slave to time.
C                          G
 Won't let tonight pass me by.
                 D        Em
 Won't see with paralyzed eyes.
      D
No I won't, no, I won't because
C             G       Am     C
 Time is so precious for us all.
             G       D      G
Time is so precious for us all.
             Am             C
Time is so precious for us all.


VERSE:
C          G         C   
  Do you gauge your life 
G        D       C
By the fleeting moments 
      G       C   G  D
That pass you by?
G             Am                  G
  Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up,
              C                 G
Shout at the moon, laugh at ourselves.
            Am                  G            
Tonight we rock; we'll smash it up,
               C
Sing with the moonlight.


CHORUS:
G
 Won't let tonight pass me by.
                          Em
Won't see with paralyzed eyes.
       D                   G
No, I won't be a slave to time.
C                          G
 Won't let tonight pass me by.
                 D         Em
 Won't see with paralyzed eyes.
      D
No I won't, no, I won't because

Time might not make it home tonight
