Tom: G
C G C Em G
[Verse]
C
He takes another drink
G
Of what, who knows, no time to think
F#m Bm
He'll wake up here tomorrow
Am
Always alone
C
The letter next to him
G
Begins: "I miss you, Evelyn"
F#m Bm
Then nothing more is written
Am/E
This is no TV show
C/G
This is real and he knows
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And the shadows from the window
Are casting shapes just like a puppet show
[Chorus]
C G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhhh
C G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhhh
[Verse]
C
Decisions he has made
G
The failures of a new decade
F#m Bm
Inform his every movement
Am Am7
He has visions of atonement
C
The television says:
G Gadd4
"Beware, we're in our final days"
F#m Bm
And a Blonde Canary Game Show
Am
Fills up the screen
C/G
Oh Lord, she must be sixteen
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And the shadows from the window
Are casting shapes just like a puppet show
[Chorus]
C G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhh
C G Gadd4
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhh
[Bridge]
C
And believing he could
Em Am
He painfully stood
C
Holding the frame
D
And launched his aging body into the rain
[Verse]
C
She couldn't take the facts
G
She just could not keep up the act
F#m Bm
She goes about her business
Am
She is never alone
C/G
And this is no TV show
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And the shadows from the window
Still casting shapes just like a puppet show
[Chorus]
C G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhhh
C Em G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhhhhh
C G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhhh
C Em G
Once in the night, once in the night, ohhhh
