A5 G5 F5
When nightfall comes around
When nightfall comes around
C5 A5
What a day today has been
G5 F5
I've got the whole world upon my shoulder
C5 A5
My future's bright but my face is thin
G5 F5
I picked the wrong day to be hung over
A5 F5
My time has come
C5 G5
There's got to be a better way of life
A5 F5
My time has come
C5 G5 GGGGGGGG5
And my time is now
A5 G5 F5
When nightfall comes around
And daybreak gets you down
And you feel like you're the only friend in town
When nightfall comes around
G5 G5 A5 Bb5 E5 G5 A5 Bb5 E5
C5 A5
Never know what the nightlife holds
G5 F5
The cards are down and the table's rusted
C5 A5
I guess the key to growin' old
G5 F5
Is havin' lots of fun and not getting busted
A5 F5
My time has come
C5 G5
There's got to be a better way of life
A5 F5
My time has come
C5 G5 GGGGGGG5
And my time is now
Chorus
G5 A5 Bb5 E5 G5 A5 Bb5 E5
D5 Bb5
Take me to a higher mountain
D5 G5
Skyscraper, tell you later
C5 A5
What a day today has been
G5 F5
I've got the whole world upon my shoulder
C5 A5
My future's bright but my face is thin
G5 F5
I picked the wrong day to be hung over
A5 F5
My time has come
C5 G5
There's got to be a better way of life
A5 F5
My time has come
C5 G5 GGGGGGGG5
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.
