Tender Is The Night (The Long Fidelity)
A D A
I knew him as a gentle young man
E D A
I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
A D A
We watched him fade before our very eyes
E
And years before his time
F#m D
And years before his time
A D A
Surrounded himself with shiny things
E D A
First night tickets, ermine, pearls upon a string
A D A
And disappeared in all the pestilence
E
That sudden pleasure brings
F#m D
E
He never asks after her anymore
Bm D F#m
He made a point of losing her address
E G D
And every trinket that she ever touched
D
He keeps locked away
D D
And just burns up in the furnace of his chest
A E
Well I spoke to a man who says he's done it all
A D
And the only thing that pleases or excites him now
A E A
Is hurting, hurting then hurting some more
A E
There's someone I want to forget tonight
F#m D
Don't you want to forget someone too?
A E A
I left him, and I can leave you too
D
Baby let's go out tonight
A
It will all turn out all right I'm sure
D
Don't want to drink at home again tonight
A
So let's go out
D
Let's go out tonight
A
It's getting dark earlier now
D A
But where you are it's just getting light
D A
Where you are it will just be getting light
D A
D
Baby let's go out tonight
A
It will all turn out all right I'm sure
D
Don't want to drink at home again tonight
A
So let's go out
D
Let's go out tonight
A
It's getting dark earlier now
D A
But where you are it's just getting light
D A
Where you are it will just be getting light
