Intro: Gmaj7 F#m7 Em F#m G A

F#m7       Bm7                                              
Here I am, there you are
G                         A                                                     
Who would believe we could come this far
F#m7              Bm7             
We're beneath this magic moon
G                   A                   
The ocean plays its own sweet tune
Am7                  D7       Gmaj7         
The summer breeze it whispers low
   F#m7      Bm7      G       A--          
It tells us something we both know

Chorus:
       Gmaj7        F#m7            
    Tonight is for dreamers
       Em7             F#m7       Bm7                  
    Tonight someone up there has seen us
            G            A         
    How we feel for each other
    F#7               Bm            
    There could be no other
          G          A          F#m7          
    So he sent these words from above
      Bm7           A         D     
    Tonight is for falling in love
     Bm7 G A                                  
    Oo, ah

                 F#m7                   Bm7                 
(Oo, la, la ... ) Tonight there's magic in the air
G                 A                
Look around, it's everywhere
F#m7                Bm7                     
Hear the sand birds bill and coo
G                A                
Actin' like they know it too
Am7                D7           Gmaj7          
Hear the wind pass through the trees
     F#m7         Bm7   G      A--                   
Like it's tellin' everyone it sees

[Repeat Chorus except last line]

Bridge:
    Bm               E7        A       F#m7          
    There can't have ever been such a night
    E                  AM7         
    I don't want it to end
         C#m                   F#7      B             
    With you in my arms girl I feel so high
      C#m7                        F#7   B        
    Hell, I don't ever want to descend

Chorus 2:
       AM7         G#m7                     
    Tonight is for dreamers
      F#m7             G#m7      C#m                     
    Tonight someone up there has seen us
           A             B               
    How we feel for each other (ah)
    G#7               C#m            
    There could be no other
          A           B          G#m7                          
    So he sent these words from above (I love you)
       AM7         G#m7             
    Tonight is for dreamers
      F#m7             G#m7      C#m               
    Tonight someone up there has seen us
        A       B        C#m                
    And I can't hold you enough (oo)
       AM7          G#m7                
    Tonight is for dreamers
      F#m7             G#m7      C#m                    
    Tonight someone up there has seen us
        A         B          G#m7        
    He sent these words from above
      C#m7          B         A   E A E B E                
    Tonight is for falling in love
