     F                 C 
Here on the stage the time has come
F                     C 
With the strains on "Be My Angel" of rock in 2/4
 F                 C               C
Time may keep alive that old swan song
C                 Am       G
That we've been playing forever
           Am                       C
'Till the time may be right to say goodbye
F                  C     Am
My voice is aching, I'm tongue tired,
F                                 G
And the sounds we are making are so.

Chorus:
F          C
Goodnight song
C      Am   F
Played so wrong
F            C 
Blame the crowd
       Am
They scream so loud so long

Get some honesty
Take the best of me and then the rest let go
In every situation with it's tireless rage
Step outside the cage
And let the real fool show
I should have stayed 'round to break the ice
I thought about it once or twice
But nothing ever changes
Unless there's some pain

Chorus:
And our goodnight song,
played so wrong
Blame the crowd,
they screamed so loud, so long

Goodnight song,
played so wrong
Blame the crowd,
they screamed so loud, so long
