  Am7         G/E     Fmaj7
When nightfall comes around
When nightfall comes around

C          Am
What a day today has been
     G                     F
I've got the whole world upon my shoulder
C                      Am
My future's bright but my face is thin
G                         F          
I picked the wrong day to be hung over
Am          F
My time has come
        C                 G
There's got to be a better way of life
Am          F
My time has come
    C            G    GGGGGGGG  
And my time is now

Am7        G/E         Fmaj7
When nightfall comes around
And daybreak gets you down
And you feel like you're the only friend in town
When nightfall comes around

G G Am Bb  E7  G Am Bb E7

C                   Am
Never know what the nightlife holds
     G                      F
The cards are down and the table's rusted
C                  Am
I guess the key to growin' old
   G                      F     
Is havin' lots of fun and not getting busted
Am          F
My time has come
C                   G
There's got to be a better way of life
Am          F
My time has come
C              G GGGGGGG
And my time is now

Chorus

G Am Bb E7  G Am Bb E7

D            Bb
Take me to a higher mountain
D            G7
Skyscraper, tell you later


C          Am
What a day today has been
     G                     F
I've got the whole world upon my shoulder
C                      Am
My future's bright but my face is thin
G                         F          
I picked the wrong day to be hung over
Am          F
My time has come
        C                 G
There's got to be a better way of life
Am          F
My time has come
    C            G    GGGGGGGG  
And my time is now

Chorus

This song is one of Ted's most interesting.  It sounds like a 3 chord
wonder but upon further inspection, you'll realize, there's a lot of
theory and genius in Ted's writing.

Tequila 'N Me
By Ted Wulfers
From the Album: Agave Blue  2002

      D          
Take a bath, read a book
       A                              G
Get a mirror, take a look at yourself 
                      D
It's a wonderful view
       D
Take a walk, take a run
A                        G
Have yourself some fun
                   D
Don't mind if I do

G                    D              A
Next time I see you I'll be alone
G                   D                 A
You can leave your boyfriend at home
G                      A            A7
An' we can share some G & T's
                                 D
Or would you prefer tequila 'n me

G         A             D
How many men have seen your tattoo?
G    A       Bm
Was I the last?
G                 A                D
You know there's somethin' about you girl
        Bm                    A            
Makes me think, I should have left you 
G        A      A7
In the past

       D        
Take a heart, take a soul
         A
Take the dice, throw a roll 
G                  D
Oh, maybe you'll win

       D 
Take a trip, take a drive
A
Try to stay alive
G
To sleep is a sin

G                     D               A
Next time I see you, I'll be alone
G                    D                        A
You wanted flowers, but I brought you stones
G                     A             A7
An' you can have your Bleecker St.
               G                 D
Or would you prefer tequila 'n me
G                        D
Take a bath, read a book
      G                  D
Get a mirror, take a look
G                                 A    A7
At yourself, it's a wonderful view to see
                               D
Or would you prefer tequila 'n me

I don't know, I guess you just want to be friends
E     B           C#m          A
That's okay, just don't lie to me

Wanna dance, oh, I'll take my chance with you
E     B           C#m          A
Just as long as you don't step on me
E     B           C#m          A
You should read the writing on the wall
E     B           C#m          A
