G                Em           G                   Em    
Somebody's gonna hurt someone before the night is through
G                C            G                      D
somebody's gonna come undone, there's nothing we can do.
G                  Em              G               Em   
Everybody wants to touch somebody, if it takes all night.
G                  C                     G                D
Everybody wants to take a little chance, make it come out right.

        D7         C7                                       G
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
                   C7                                       A7
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
        D7
Lord, I know.


Some people like to stay out late, some folks can't hold out that long.
But nobody wants to go home now, there's too much going on.
This night is gonna last forever, last all, last all summer long,
some time before the sun comes up the radio is gonna play that song.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
Lord, I know.

                   G                      G7
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, the moon's shining bright,
   C7                      Eb7
so turn out the light, and we'll get it right,
                   G                    D7                  G
there's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.

Somebody's gonna hurt someone before the night is through,
somebody's gonna come undone, there's nothing we can do.
Everybody wants to touch somebody, if it takes all night.
Everybody wants to take a little chance, make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.
There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know,
once more.

       G                              G7
We can beat around the bushes, we can get down to the bone,    
       C7                            Eb7
we can leave it in a parking lot but either way                
                   G                    D7                   G       C
there's gonna be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight, I know.
              G                    D7                   G
There'll be a heartache tonight, a heartache tonight, I know.
