Standard (EADGBE)

When nightfall comes around

When nightfall comes around

What a day today has been

I've got the whole world upon my shoulder

My future's bright but my face is thin

I picked the wrong day to be hung over

My time has come

There's got to be a better way of life

My time has come

And my time is now

When nightfall comes around

And daybreak gets you down

And you feel like you're the only friend in town

When nightfall comes around

Never know what the nightlife holds

The cards are down and the table's rusted

I guess the key to growin' old

Is havin' lots of fun and not getting busted

My time has come

There's got to be a better way of life

My time has come

And my time is now

Chorus

Take me to a higher mountain

Skyscraper, tell you later

What a day today has been

I've got the whole world upon my shoulder

My future's bright but my face is thin

I picked the wrong day to be hung over

My time has come

There's got to be a better way of life

My time has come

And my time is now

Chorus

This song is one of Ted's most interesting. It sounds like a 3 chord

wonder but upon further inspection, you'll realize, there's a lot of

theory and genius in Ted's writing.
