Nina Gordon – Tonight and the Rest of My Life
(Acoustic)
Here’s an oldie. Kind of. I thought I would
Tab it out for some of the ladies who like this song.
It is fairly easy for any beginner and a beautiful
song. This is 99% correct. The chords in parenthesis
are for one strum. Enjoy!

Intro: Am, Fmaj, C/E, G
Verse
(Am) (Fmaj) (C/E)
Down to the earth I fell with dripping wings
(G)
heavy things won't fly
(Am) (Fmaj)
and the sky might catch on fire
(C/E) (G)
and burn the axis of the world that's why
Bridge:
Fmaj Am
I prefer a sunless sky
Fmaj Am G <--build up to chorus
to the glittering and stinging in my eyes
Chorus:
Am Fmaj C/E G Am Fmaj C/E G
I feel so light this is all I want to feel tonight
Am Fmaj C/E G Am Fmaj C/E G
I feel so light tonight and for the rest of my life
Verse:
Gleaming in the dark sea I'm as light as air
floating there breathlessly
when the dream dissolves I open
up my eyes I realize that
Bridge:
everything is sure to see
a weightlessness is passing over me
Chorus
I feel so light
this is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
tonight and the rest of my life
tonight and the rest of my life
Bridge:
Everything is waves and stars
the universe is resting in my arms
I feel so light
this is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
tonight and the rest of my life
I feel so light
this is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
tonight and the rest of my life
tonight and the rest of my life
