is there a rhyme or reason why
i can't keep my head on the pillow at night
is there no vice that can cure this pain
when your best ain't enough to get you by
fighting tooth and nail 'till your blood runs dry
you wanna stay up but can't no matter what you try
can you take me out of my hell tonight
so i don't have to feel the way i do
but i feel something in the air tonight
i hope someday i'm gonna make it through,
make it through
i'm just an average joe working the moonlight
tryin' to bring home the bread so we can eat tonight
there's not a thing that i wouldn't do
to come home to you
you don't wait for life to cut you any slack
when the world pins you down,
you punch right back
no matter how bad it gets
don't ever tighten the noose
can you take me out of my hell tonight
so i don't have to feel the way i do
but i feel something in the air tonight
i hope someday i'm gonna make it through,
make it through
D, E, F#m, E (2x) A, D, E
i can feel something in the air tonight
that i can somehow make it through
Chorus;
can you take me out of my hell tonight
so i don't have to feel the way i do
but i feel something in the air tonight
i hope someday i'm gonna make it through,
make it through
