Save Tonight

Words & Music:

Eagle-Eye Cherry

 

Am   F   C   G  [4x]

 

            Am  F   C          G            Am   F        C   G

Go on and close the curtains, 'cause all we need is candlelight.

You and me and a bottle of wine; going to hold you tonight.

Well we know I'm going away and how I wish, I wish it weren't so.

So, take this wine and drink with me; let's delay our misery.

 

CHORUS:

G      Am   F      C                  G

Save tonight-- and fight the break of dawn.

Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone.

Save tonight-- and fight the break of dawn.

Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone.

 

There's a log on the fire and it burns like me for you.

Tomorrow comes with one desire to take me away it's true.

It ain't easy to say goodbye; darling, please don't start to cry.

'Cause girl you know I've got to go; oh, and Lord, I wish it wasn't so.

 

CHORUS:

 

Tomorrow comes to take me away, I wish that I, that I could stay.

Girl, you know I've got to go, oh, Lord I wish it wasn't so.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

     Tomorrow, IÕll be gone.

Am  F  C               G

     Tomorrow, IÕll be gone.

Am  F  C               G

     Tomorrow, IÕll be gone.

Am  F  C               G

     Tomorrow, IÕll be gone.

 

Am   F   C   G   Am
