No no, not tonight, not tomorrow
Everything's gonna be alright (sunny and bright)
Wait and see if tomorrow we'll be
as happy as we're feeling tonight
We'll go walking in the moonlight (we'll be happy)
Walking in the moonlight
I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where we lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight

D - Dsus4 - D - Dsus4 (play around with these until the end)
Just you and I
Can't you see that we've gotta be together
Be together just you and I just you and I
No more questions just you and I
Notes:
For the last line of the verse, where the chord progression goes like this: G - D - A/E
- D, I like to do a little fast picking on strings 4-6 (low E to D), as the chord
progression sounds kind of awkward.
What I do is:
e|------------------2---|
B|------------------3---|
G|------------------2---|
D|------0-----0---2-0---|
A|----2-----0---0-------|
E|--3-----2-------------|
Of course, these can be strummed, and then it would go [320xxx]-[200xxx]-[x02xxx]-[xx0232]
Another thing, I add the Asus4 to the third line of the verse, just for added color, but
it can easily be skipped.
