[Verse 1]
C
Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
Am
My friends are in the bathroom
Getting higher than the empire state
Dm
My lover she's waiting for me
Just across the bar
F
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
G
Asking 'bout a scar
C
And I know I gave it to you months ago
Am
I know you're trying to forget
Dm
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
F G
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
[Bridge]
Dm Em
So if by the time the bar closes
Am G F
And you feel like falling down
F G
I'll carry you home
[Chorus]
C
Tonight
Am
We are young
F
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gsus4 G
Than the sun
C
Tonight
Am
We are young
F
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gsus4 G
Than the sun
[Verse 2]
C
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
Am
I guess that I
Dm
I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a toast
F G
Cause I found someone to carry me home
[Chorus]
C
Tonight
Am
We are young
F
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gsus4 G
Than the sun
C
Tonight
Am
We are young
F
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gsus4 G
Than the sun
[Bridge]
C F
Carry me home tonight
C/E G
Just carry me home tonight
C F
Carry me home tonight
C G
Just carry me home tonight
C F
The world is on my side I have no reason to run
C/E G
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
C F
The angels never arrived but I can hear the choir
C/E G
so will someone come and carry me home
[Chorus]
C
Tonight
Am
We are young
F
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gsus4 G
Than the sun
C
Tonight
Am
We are young
F
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Gsus4 G
Than the sun
[Bridge]
Dm Em
So if by the time the bar closes
Am G F
And you feel like falling down
F G C
I'll carry you home tonight

Nice! Much easier to sing and play this way. I do believe I'll be playing this version at my gig tonight. Thanks!

The "we are young" part in the chorus to me sounds like C Em then Am
+7

In hindsight, I believe Dm first, then F sounds more accurate in the verses. Still not sure about the pre-chorus part. Am to C there sounds slightly off. Hope your gig went well, Greg.
