Thinking of a Time
Composer: Henning Ohlenbusch
Album: School for the Dead - A Telephone Built for Two

[Verse]
G                                            C
I was just a stranger in a room that was too smoky
D                                         G
When I saw a long lost friend singing Karaoke
G                                             C
All that day I had this feeling that I wasn't human
D                                                    G
That all changed because my friend was singing Randy Newman
 

[Verse]
G                                     C
Later on I realized that I had been sequestered
D                                                  G
Quit my day job, packed my car, and finally headed westward
G                                                        C
Found a floor to sleep on face to face with a good night light
D                                               G
Based my week around the Bay State Tuesday Open Mic Night


[Chorus]
Em           C              G 
And when the ladies started dancing
Em          C              G
That was an answer for the moment
Em       C             G
I was surrounded by my best friends
    D            D     G/D   Am/D D G
My friends, this night might never end.


[Verse]
G                                               C
Got a job in which I drove around with people's dinners
D                                                G
Joined a band, I played the bass, I was just a beginner
G                                                 C
Rode our bikes down to the park to play a game of stick ball
D                                                  G
Watched the afternoon grow dark while leaning on a brick wall


[Chorus] 
Em           C              G 
And when the ladies started dancing
Em          C              G
That was an answer for the moment
Em       C             G
I was surrounded by my best friends
    D            D     G/D   Am/D D G
My friends, this night might never end.


[Bridge]
                    C
I was thinking of a time
                        G
When we lived mostly at night
                      C
He was singing like a chime
                       G
She was shining like a light
                       C
I was thinking of this time
C7/C#                     E
When our house was always full
            Am                 D                    G
It seems we did much more when there was nothing to do


[instrumental]
G

[Chorus] 
Em           C              G 
And when the ladies started dancing
Em          C              G
That was an answer for the moment
Em       C             G
I was surrounded by my best friends
    D            D     G/D   Am/D D G
My friends, this night might never end.
      D    G/D   Am/D D      D     G/D   Am/D D      D     G/D   Am/D D G
This night might never, this night might never, this night might never end.
