[Verse]

 Fig. 1                  Fig. 1
 Time is never time at all
                     Fig. 1                 Fig. 2
 You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth.
 Fig. 1                      Fig. 1
 And our lives are forever changed, 
                     Fig. 1                          Fig. 2
 We will never be the same; The more you change the less you feel.

 Fig. 1    Fig.1         Fig.1       G  D/F#    Em 
 Believe, believe in me, believe (believe)
       Am                     C                    G   D/F#   Em
 That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
       Am                    C        Cadd9 G/B  D     Cadd9 G/B  D
 We're not the same, we're different toniiiiiiiiiiiIIIight.
 

[Chorus]

 Cadd9 G/B D    Em           Am
 Toniiiiiiight, tonight, so bright
 Cadd9   G/B  D   Cadd9 G/B D     G
 ToniiiiiiiiiiiIIIight,        tonight

 G  
 Em  
 

[Verse]

 G
 And you know you're never sure
                              Em
 But you're sure you could be right
 
 If you held yourself up to the light
 G                                               Em
 And the embers never fade in your city by the lake

 The place where you were born.
 
Fig. 1    Fig.1         Fig.1       G  D/F#    Em
 Believe, believe in me, believe (believe)
        Am          C        G  D/F#  Em
 In the resolute urgency of now
         Am                  C           Cadd9  G/B   D     Cadd9  G/B  D
 And if you believe there's not a chance toniiiiiiiiiiiIIIight.
 

[Chorus]
 
 Cadd9 G/B D    Em           Am
 Toniiiiiiight, tonight, so bright
 Cadd9   G/B  D     G   D/F#   Em
 Toniiiiiiight,   tonight

[Bridge]

       Am              C       G     D/F#  Em
 We'll crucify the insincere tonight (tonight)
        Am                       C             G     D/F#  Em
 We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight (tonight)
        Am           C             G    D/F# Em
 We'll find a way to offer up the night (tonight)
         Am           C              G  D/F#   Em
 The indescribable moments of your life (tonight)
        Am            C          G   D/F#  Em
 The impossible is possible tonight (tonight)
    Am (single strum) C (single strum)     Fig. 1
 Believe in me as I believe in you.... tonight.
 

[Outro]

 Fig. 1            Fig.1      G   D/F#   Em
 Tonight tonight, tonight, tonight.


Looked for a tab for this recently and discovered that all the tabs were either 
missing a lot, completely wrong or extremely hard to follow so I said I'd give it a proper go. 
First submitted tab but pretty sure its right.

Sorry if the finger picking Fig. 1 and 2 stuff is a bit confusing.  
I just wanted to get across the idea of where the first note of it is every time.

Let me know if you find any mistakes. Enjoy

Six year later 2020 edit - 
this gets so many views every week that I thought I should make it a little more accurate
