[Intro] Am Dm FM7 E Am F F E E FM7 Dm/F A4 Am C G G/F G4 F FM7 Dm/F A4 Am C G G/F G4 F Am E Am G/E [Verse 1]
Am                   G
  This could be the longest night

      Am          G
In recorded history

Am                       G                                    Am
  And as for sleep, you might as well just cross it off the list

         G
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    Am7 Am
If I just get through this night

     G       Dm C  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       Dm C  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  A2  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

                         Am A4
And I don't know why-y...
[Instrumental] FM7 Dm/F A4 Am C G G/F G4 F FM7 Dm/F A4 Am C G G/F G4 F Am E Am G/E [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         Dm   C    G     Em   Am
Ohhh oh, if I just get through this night

     G         Dm   C     G    Em      Am
Ohhh oh, if I just get through this... night...
