"Tonight (Was A Long Time Ago)" lyrics - JACK WHITE

[Intro:]
One, two, three, four

Sometimes it's over before it begins
And you feel all those needles and pins
And before I confess all I know
Feels like tonight was a long time ago

[Chorus:]
She's flicking the light up on the stairs
The signal she's finally there
You have to go now, before they come home
Tonight was a long time ago

A pain's been released from my core
And I feel better than ever before, yeah
And just when she opened the door
I thought, "Tonight was a long time ago"

[Chorus:]
She's flicking the light up on the stairs
The signal she's finally there
You have to go now, before they come home
Tonight was a long time ago
Yeah!

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
She's flicking the light up on the stairs
The signal she's finally here
You have to go now, before they come home
Tonight was a long time ago

[Bridge:]
It's deja vu all over again
The memories are my medicine
And the fatigue is frightening, well
Sometimes it's over before it begins
Sometimes it's over before it begins
Sometimes it's over before it begins
Sometimes it's over before it begins

Tonight was a long time ago
And now there's ten thousand feet on the floor
And right after I played all I know
I thought, "Tonight was a long time ago"

[Chorus:]
She's flicking the light up on the stairs
The signal she's finally here
You have to go now, before they come home
'Cause tonight was a long time ago
Oh, oh, oh
