_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] My _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ midnight's never just [C] and never fair _
_ _ [Dm] _ It haunts me like a ghost [C] when it's not there
_ _ [Cm] _ And when I think I've learned to [Bb] _ know it's [F] called
My [Cm] _ _ midnight shakes me down [G] to _ nothing [Bb] at all
_ _ [Dm] _ My midnight's never late [C] and _ always slow
A _ [Dm] _ _ smile and a nod [C] and it's time to go
_ _ [Cm] _ And when I start to think [Bb] I'm wasting [F] my time
_ _ [Cm] _ My midnight strikes me down [G] with a single [Bb] chat
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ My midnight's never brave [C] and never strong _
_ _ [Dm] _ It just waits patiently [C] till _ I come along
And [Eb] _ _ when I think I've found [Bb] a _ place and a [F] time
_ _ [Cm] _ _ That's when my midnight comes [G] and leaves [Bb] me blind
_ _ [Dm] _ _ My midnight laughs at me [C] when I run away
_ _ [Dm] _ _ Shades of blue and gold [C] and white and gray
And _ [Eb] _ when I see my chance and [Bb] I think I can [F] run
_ My [Cm] _ _ midnight strikes me down _ [G] _ before [Bb] I've begun
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ My midnight hates me much [C] like I hate myself
_ _ [Dm] _ _ Always steps between [C] me and someone else
_ _ [Cm] _ And when I start to fear [Bb] I'm growing [F] too old
_ _ [Cm] _ That's when my midnight comes [G] and releases [Bb] its hold
_ _ [Dm] _ My midnight comes in ways [C] I _ can't _ explain
_ [Dm] _ _ _ Lighting out the sun [C] with a wind and rain
[C] _ _ [Cm] _ _ And when I start to learn [Bb] to _ love [F] the night
_ [Cm] That's when my midnight blinds [G] me with its [Bb] flashing light
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
