 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)
