 from the album Elemental
 
 Intro:

 ------
 

 F 
  
 C/E 
  
 C 
  
 F 
  
 C/E  
 C, Am
 
 Verse one:

 -------------
 

            F                       C/E 
 Here on the stage the time has come
 F                              C/E               
  With the strains on "Be My Angel" of rock in 2/4
 F                            C/E      
 Time may keep alive that old swan song
 C                           Am  Gsus4 
  That we've been playing forever
                  Am                       C 
 'Till the time may be right to say goodbye
 F                       C/E       Am  
  My voice is aching, I'm tongue tired,
 F                                      G 
  And the sounds we are making are so...
 
 Chorus:

 ----------
 

 F             
 Goodnight song
 C            Am 
  Played so wrong
 F               C/E 
  Blame the crowd
           Am               
 They scream so loud so long
 
 Dm, C
 
 Verse two:

 --------------
 

 Fmaj7            
  Get some honesty
                     Gsus4  G                Am 
 Take the best of me and then the rest let go
                     Fmaj7                
 In every situation with its tireless rage
               Gsus4             G               Am                    
 Step outside your cage and let the real fool show (the real fool show)
   Dm9                                       
 I should have stayed 'round to break the ice
                             G   
 I thought about it once or twice
           Am                                                A 
 But nothing ever changes unless there's some pain and our...
 
 (Chorus -- repeat to fade)
