Em... G... G... Em... C\G. G. G...

Em       G                Em
See the leaves up on the trees
Em     G        D
Lining all the cobbled streets
Em                      Cadd9
With their colors of a dying sun
    D              Em
But all the colors of the seas
D               Am       G6
Wouldn't mean a thing to me
            Em
Cause it's only gray that I see
      G                     Am
But I know I'm not the only one
      Em                G
Or, I think I'm not the only one
G                C\G
And I'm going to keep my heart
    G6
To myself
G6               D
You're going to need some strength
       Em
In the end
   G    Am C\B     C   D          G
To make it through the night into day
Em        G                Em
All those people that walk strong
Em          G        D
Without the guts to sing along
Em                       Cadd9
Everyone singing private odes to joy
    D                 Em
But here it's dreadfully quiet
D                  Am      G6
When I don't know what to sing
          G                      Am
Makes me feel like the loneliest boy
          Em                G
Makes me feel like I'm the only one
And I'm going to keep my heart
To myself
You're going to need some strength
In the end
To make it through the night into day
Em       G              Em
The wallflower stands alone
Em    G      D
Just barely whispering his tone
      Em                Cadd9
Cause all his pleasures come with guilt
    D                  Em
And if we both weren't made of stone
D                Am     G6
We could make it on our own
Em
Now we'll settle in this house we've built
But I'm going to keep my heart
To myself
You're going to need some strength
In the end
To make it through the night into day
Em       G                Em
And my princess in the tower
Em        G       D
With her parties every hour
Em                     Cadd9
For the angels and the choir boys
D                        Em
Serves her good friends bitter flowers
D               Am      G6
Leaving all the angels sour
Em
Wishing they could steal her voice
Em       Am
And the enemies she keeps
Em
Close by her feet
Em     G                          Em
Don't know if she loves them for real
         Am
She will go to bed with her lover
     Em
And kill him in his sleep
     G                    C
Then go on television to weep
And she's going to keep her heart
To herself
I'm going to need some strength
In the end
To make it through the night into day

D       Em                  G
Oh, to make it through the night

Em... G... Em. G.
G... Em... C\G... G... C\G. Em. G...
