[Intro]
                            
                                
                                
                

[Verse 1]
            
  This could b

       
e the longest 

night
            
In recorded hi

    
story
            
  And as for s

             
leep, you migh

              
t as well just

              
 cross it off 

      
the list
         
of possibiliti

es

             
(Now) I'm as b

             
rave as the ne

xt man
             
  I won't turn

              
 and run from 

   
a fight
            
  And I could 

             
last a million

  
 years
             
If I just get 

             
through this n

     
ight

            
Ohhh oh ohhh o

        
h oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
            
  I could be a

  
 novelist
            
Tell secrets n

      
ever heard
            
  Pour my soul

    
 into each and

 every sentenc

e
            
But I just can

             
't find the wo

rds

             
  Still I know

             
 that you're o

ut there
             
  And you can 

             
relate to it a

ll
            
  And I could 

             
bear the cold 

           
and stormy win

ter
             
If I just get 

             
through this f


all

            
Ohhh oh ohhh o

        
h oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
             
Don't you know

              
 there's no pl

            
ace on this Ea

rth
              
Where you can 

 
run to escape 

the pain of a 

broken heart
             
  It's useless

              
 to spend the 

             
time   it take

               
s you to try
              
But can't you 

 
see that I'm h

ere
         
And I'm lookin

g just the sam

e
              
And I don't kn

            
ow why-y...

[Instrumental]
                                
                                
                

[Verse 3]
            
  I could be a

  
 movie star
            
The king of Ho

    
llywood
            
  Make them cr

       
y, dramaticall

y pretending
            
To keep romanc

    
e alive

             
  And I would 

              
humbly thank m

     
y director
             
  And everyone

              
 involved from

       
 the start
           
  I could blow

            
 them all away
            
If I'd only fi

        
nd the part

[Coda]
             
Ohhh oh, if I 

          
just get throu
