Am7         G/E     F7M
When nightfall comes around
When nightfall comes around

C          Am
What a day today has been
     G                     F
I've got the whole world upon my shoulder
C                      Am
My future's bright but my face is thin
G                         F          
I picked the wrong day to be hung over
Am          F
My time has come
        C                 G
There's got to be a better way of life
Am          F
My time has come
    C            G    GGGGGGGG  
And my time is now

Am7        G/E         F7M
When nightfall comes around
And daybreak gets you down
And you feel like you're the only friend in town
When nightfall comes around

G G Am Bb  E7  G Am Bb E7

C                   Am
Never know what the nightlife holds
     G                      F
The cards are down and the table's rusted
C                  Am
I guess the key to growin' old
   G                      F     
Is havin' lots of fun and not getting busted
Am          F
My time has come
C                   G
There's got to be a better way of life
Am          F
My time has come
C              G GGGGGGG
And my time is now

Chorus

G Am Bb E7  G Am Bb E7

D            Bb
Take me to a higher mountain
D            G7
Skyscraper, tell you later


C          Am
What a day today has been
     G                     F
I've got the whole world upon my shoulder
C                      Am
My future's bright but my face is thin
G                         F          
I picked the wrong day to be hung over
Am          F
My time has come
        C                 G
There's got to be a better way of life
Am          F
My time has come
    C            G    GGGGGGGG  
And my time is now

Chorus

This song is one of Ted's most interesting.  It sounds like a 3 chord
wonder but upon further inspection, you'll realize, there's a lot of
theory and genius in Ted's writing.
