Day 12 - Tomorrow Night

Unfortunately a recording for this song will have to wait. It really can't be helped. I need to memorize the lyrics in order to play it. I've given it a shot for a few days now (around 20-30 takes) and just haven't gotten it yet. Hopefully soon. Really, hopefully soon.

It's a poppy number, and it isn't overly complicated. Just a long couple of slides for the main guitar hook that require my eyes to be locked on the fretboard. No glancing at my lyrics sheet for this one.

Lyrics after the jump.

Tomorrow Night

I'm gonna work hard
I'm gonna play hard
I'm gonna live my life
On a guitar
Settling in my ways
Practicing for days
Memorizing how
The music plays
Find a bottom line
Rock out all the time
Set up for a life
That is so sublime
Like it or not I'm fine
Like it or not I'm tryin'
Like it or not
I'd like to blow your mind

If I knew then what I know by now
I wouldn't have to wait til tomorrow night
Gonna make it up some way, somehow
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night

Hey there mystery
Life of luxury
Don't pretend you have
Everything you need
Just sit back awhile
Live your life of style
Hope your higher class
Doesn't turn to greed
But keep an open mind
One eye to the sky
Ears pinned back
And ready for the right
Like it or not I'm fine
Like it or not I'm tryin'
Like it or not I'd like to blow your mind

If I knew then what I know by now
I wouldn't have to wait til tomorrow night
Gonna make it up some way, somehow
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
Everyone I see, everywhere I go
People cannot wait for tomorrow night
Gonna put on one hell of a show
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night

If he can be there, I can too
Nothing I cannot do

So I worked hard
So I played hard
So I'm living my life
On my guitar
Settled in my ways
I practiced for days
Memorized just how
The music plays
Found a bottom line
Rock out all the time
Living this here life
Is so sublime
Like it or not I'm fine
Like it or not I'm tryin'
Like it or not
I'd like to blow your mind
