Tell Em About Tonight

 
G 
Someday, these lights are gonna fade 
C 
Some other good old boy'll be on this stage 
G 
And the only place you might see my name 
D 
Is on a t-shirt in a closet, taking up space 
G 
Yeah, someday, they won't want to turn me up 
C 
And them records on the walls will start to rust 
G 
When what I never thought I'd do turns into what I've done 
D 
And I get to reminiscing with my time in the sun 
 

 
G 
'Bout the boys in the back with the beers up high 
D 
And the girls in the front row singing every line 
Em 
I'm gon' think about them lighters way up in the sky 
C 
And how we rode that rocket as far as it could fly 
G 
Yeah, when somebody someday, way on down the line 
D 
Says, "Tell me something you're proud of when you think about your life" 
Em 
I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout my kids, gon' tell 'em 'bout my wife 
C                                                     G 
And you damn right, I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout tonight 
 

 
G 
I'll think about guitars roarin' out the speakers 
C 
Cowboy boots stompin' in the bleachers 
G 
And that feeling in the air, lighting that live wire 
D 
Dreamers dancing in the dark with their hearts on fire 
 

 
G 
'Bout the boys in the back with the beers up high 
D 
And the girls in the front row singing every line 
Em 
I'm gon' think about them lighters way up in the sky 
C 
And how we rode that rocket as far as it could fly 
G 
Yeah, when somebody someday, way on down the line 
D 
Says, "Tell me something you're proud of when you think about your life" 
Em 
I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout my kids, gon' tell 'em 'bout my wife 
C                                                     G 
And you damn right, I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout tonight 
 

 
Em C G D 
 

 
G 
Here's to the boys in the back with beers up high 
D 
And the girls in the front row singing every line 
Em 
I'm gon' think about them lighters way up in the sky 
C 
And how we rode that rocket as far as it could fly 
G 
Hell, when somebody someday, way on down the line 
D 
Says, "Tell me something you're proud of when you think about your life" 
Em 
I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout my kids, gon' tell 'em 'bout my wife 
C                                                     G 
And you damn right, I'm gon' tell 'em 'bout tonight
