(transcribed by mjreech)

INTRO:   C  D  Em7  A  (2x)

V1:      C                                G                     D
           Well is it any wonder that the stars don't just rush by
                     C                          G            D
         When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
                  C
         But it's lacking something big this time
         G                   D
           What the hell did you expect to find
         A                C                 D
           Aphrodite on a bar stool by your side

CHORUS:  C              D     Em7              A
           Twelfth night we go after something everyone should know
         C                  D               Em7      A
           Somewhere in the distance out of sight
                    C        D        Em7            A
         Then I saw: gin mill rainfall what do you remember if at all
         C      D             Em7      A
           Only pieces of the night

V2:      C                             G             D
           And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
                C                                      G             D
         If you let your feet get trampled on when the music is that loud
                 C
         But you wanted to be where you are
         G                    D
           But it looked much better from afar
         A                                  C              D
           A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars

CHORUS:  C              D     Em7              A
           Twelfth night we go after something everyone should know
         C                  D               Em7      A
           Somewhere in the distance out of sight
                    C        D        Em7            A
         Then I saw: gin mill rainfall what do you remember if at all
         C      D             Em7      A
           Only pieces of the night

SOLO:    C      G   D  (2x)

BRIDGE:  C                 G
           And it seems so distant
             D          C              G      D
         But still only half the night away
              C                     G             D
         Where notions between your questions come too
         A           C
           Is it any wonder where
         D
           The pieces of the night have been

CHORUS:  C              D     Em7              A
           Twelfth night we go after something everyone should know
         C                  D               Em7      A
           Somewhere in the distance out of sight
                    C        D        Em7            A
         Then I saw: gin mill rainfall what do you remember if at all
         C      D             Em7      A
           Only pieces of the night
         C      D             Em7      A
           Only pieces of the night
