Here I come again I don't really care to turn back
Tryin' to follow your directions
But I seem to be losin' track
I believe we ought to make a run for it
Just to see how far we can go
I ain't just around for the fun of it
But until you try it baby you'll never know so
Chorus:
Say you love me or say goodnight
Say we've made up or on with the fight
Cause there's no love lyin' in the eyes of the night
(Intro Riff)
So say you love me or say goodnight
G (Riff 1)
There is no use hangin' on a memory
No good livin' a lie
I got no use for mediocrity you know
Tonight's the night we either do it or die so
(Chorus)
(Solo over verse chords)
(Chorus)
(Outro w/"Say Goodnight" ad lib vocals)
