Lyrics

If you got ta start some where, why not (Em)here? If you got ta start some time, why not (F)now? If we got ta start some where, I say (Em7)here. If we got ta start some time, I say (F)now. Through the fog, there is hope in the dis tance. From ca the drals to third world mis sions, love will fall to the earth like a crash ing (G)wave. To (CN.C.)night’s the night for the sin ners and the saints. Two worlds col lide in a beau ti ful dis play. It’s all love to night when we step a cross the line. We can sail a cross the sea to a cit y with one King, a cit y on our knees, a cit y on our (Am)knees. (Oh, (F)oh, oh, oh, oh.) If you got ta start some where, why not (Em)here? If you got ta start some time, why not (F)now? If we got ta start some where, I say (Em7)here. If we got ta start some time, I say now. Through the fog, there is (Dm)hope in the dis tance. From ca the drals to third world mis sions, love will fall to the earth like a crash ing (G)wave. To night’s (CN.C.)the night (F)oh, oh, oh, oh.) To (C)night could last for ev er. We are (Cmaj7)one choice from to geth er. To (C7)night could last for ev er. Oh, to (C)night could last for ev er. We are (C)one choice from to geth er. Fam i ly, we’re fam i ly. Oh, to (C)night could last for ev er. We are (C)one choice from to geth er. You and (C)me, yeah, you and (F)me. To night’s the night for the sin ners and the saints. Two worlds col lide in a glo ri ous dis (F)play. ’Cause it’s all love to night when we step a cross the line. We can sail a cross the sea to a cit y with one King, a cit y on our knees, a cit y on our (Am)knees. (Oh, (F)oh, oh,) a cit y on our knees, a cit y on our (Am)knees. (Oh, (F)oh, oh, oh, oh.)
