 fingerpicking)
 
 Time is never time at all
 You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth.
 And our lives are forever changed, we will never be the same;
 The more you change the less you feel.

                                        G   D   Em
 Believe, believe in me, believe  (believe)
                                                  G   D   Em
 That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
                                         Cadd9  G  D    Cadd9  G  D
 We're not the same, we're different tonight.
 

 Cadd9 G D G
 Tonight, tonight, so bright

 Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G D Em
 Tonight, tonight
 
 
 G
 And you know you're never sure
                                     Em
 But sure you're sure you could be right
 
 If you held yourself up to the light
 G
 And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
 Em
 The place where you were born.
 
                                G  D  Em
 Believe, believe in me, believe (believe)
                            G  D  Em
 In the resolute urgency of now
                                         Cadd9 G D  Cadd9 G D
 And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
 

 Cadd9 G D G           Cadd9
 Tonight, tonight, so bright

 Cadd9 G D   G D Em
 Tonight, tonight.
 
 Am                Cadd9     G        D  Em
 We'll crucify the insincere tonight (tonight)
 Am                           Cadd9         G        D  Em
 We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight (tonight)
 Am                Cadd9      G         D   Em
 The indescribable moments of your life (tonight)
 Am                Cadd9    G        D  Em
 The impossible is possible tonight (tonight)
 Am                   Cadd9        
 Believe in me as I believe in you tonight.
 
 (continue fingerpicking)      G  D/F#  Em
 Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight.

 just tweaked it here and there to finish it off.
