Tonight
                     A#
Do we have to fight again
  G#
Tonight
                D#     F
I just want to go to sleep
A#   Cm  A#7  D#
Turn out the light
                       G#
But you want to carry grudges
            D#     F
Nine times out of ten
                   A#
I see the storm approaching
                             G#    Cm  Cm 
Long before the rain starts falling

Tonight, does it have to be the old thing?
Tonight, oh, it's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise, ooh,
and place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
Oh, and I cannot find the time

Chorus:
Cm     Cm  Cm
Tonight
                                Dm
Just let the curtains close in silence
Gm7    F  Gm7
Tonight
                              Cm   Cm    F 
Why not approach with less defiance
                                G 
The man who'd love to see you smile
                        G#   G 
Who'd love to see you smile
                                G#
The man who'd love to see you smile
 A#  D#
tonight

Tonight, just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight, why not approach with less defiance?
The man who'd love to see you smile
The man who'd love to see you smile
The man who'd love to see you smile tonight
