VERSE
       Em                         Bm
It was 9-29, 9-29 back street big city
    Am                             Bm
The sun was going' down, there was music all around 
          | Em | % |
It felt so right 


VERSE + bridge
       Em
It was one of those nights,  
                               Bm
One of those nights when you feel the world stop turnin', 
Am                                 Bm
You were standing there, there was music in the air
  Cmaj7                        D
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay 


CHORUS
G               Cmaj7   G              Cmaj7
  Last train to London,   just headin' out,
G               Cmaj7   Bm             Am      
  Last train to London,   just leavin' town
D     Gmaj7                  Cmaj7
But I really want tonight to last forever
  Gmaj7                Cmaj7
I really wanna be with you
Bm                    Am            | Em | % | 
Let the music play on down the line tonight 


VERSE
       Em
It was one of those nights, 
                               Bm
One of those nights when you feel the fire is burnin', 
     Am                           Bm
Everybody was there, everybody to share, 
          Em
It was so right 


VERSE + bridge
          Em
There you were on your own, 
                          Bm
Lookin' like you were the only one around,
  Am                          Bm
I had to be with you, nothin' else that I could do,
  Cmaj7                        D
I should have been away, but I knew I'd have to stay

But I really want tonight to last forever

     Em
Underneath a starry sky,
                              Bm
Time was still but hours must really have rushed by,
  Am                  Bm
I didn't realize, but love was in your eyes
