This Night Won't Last Forever by Michael Johnson
Intro- G Em D Em C D C Em Am B7
Em B7
Everybody likes a celebration
C G
Happy music and conversation
C D G C B7
But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the blues
Em B7
In the corner there's a couple dancing
C G
From the kitchen I can hear her laughing
Am C D
Oh I wish I was celebrating, too
(Chorus)
G Em D
I know this night won't last forever
C Em Am D
I know the sun is gonna shine some time
G Em D
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow
C Em Am D
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine
C Em Am B7
Em B7
So pardon me for my disposition
C G
Wish I didn't have to sit and listen
C D G C B7
She's playing the same old songs on the stereo
Em B7
She's been lying since the day I met her
C G
I'd be better off to just forget her
Am C D
Oh I would rather be lonesome all alone
(Chorus)
F G
Such a ridiculous situation
F G
Pretending there's nothing wrong
Em A
She's coming on with the invitation
C D
I wonder who is taking her home
(Chorus)
