that you're not stuck in vain.

tonight
  D#m        G#m
Tonight, so bright.
   B F#/A# C#
Tonight,
   B F#/A# C#
tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe
Believe in me
Believe, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance

Chorus

We'll crucify the insincere tonight, tonight
We'll make things right,
we'll feel it all tonight, tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life, tonight
The impossible is possible tonight, tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you

Chorus:
Tonight...
Tonight, tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...
