C G
Here I come again I don't really care to turn back
Dm
Tryin' to follow your directions
F G
But I seem to be losin' track
C
I believe we ought to make a run for it
G
Just to see how far we can go
Dm
I ain't just around for the fun of it
F G
But until you try it baby you'll never know so
Chorus:
C G
Say you love me or say goodnight
Dm F G
Say we've made up or on with the fight
C G
Cause there's no love lyin' in the eyes of the night
Dm F C (Intro Riff)
So say you love me or say goodnight
G (Riff 1)
C
There is no use hangin' on a memory
G
No good livin' a lie
Dm
I got no use for mediocrity you know
F G
Tonight's the night we either do it or die so
(Chorus)
(Solo over verse chords)
(Chorus)
(Outro w/"Say Goodnight" ad lib vocals)
