[C#]
[A] [C#]
I [D] woke up on a good day, [G#] [C#] and the world [F#m] was wonderful.
A midnight [D] summer dream [C#] had me in [F#] its spell.
[F#m]
[A] I dreamt about an old man, [C#] who sat and [F#m] watched the rain all night.
[D] He couldn't sleep a wink, so [D#] the drops fell.
[F#]
[D] He told me of the beauty hidden in our [F#m] foreheads,
and he told me of [D] the ugliness which shouts [Bm] that.
[C#m]
[D] And when we put a foot wrong, [G#] he would hurt from all [F#m] the pain.
I knew [D] that summer dream, [C#] as he watched the [F#] rain.
[E] [F#m] Then at midnight, I [D] had another dream come over my head.
[C#]
[E] And [F#m] after midnight, we sat [D] up half the night, [A] or [G#] maybe more.
And [B] he began to tell me what it was [G] all for.
[F#m] [D] Woke up in [A] an old [C#] room chair, hit [Bm] the line [F#m] of nowhere.
Then [D] he existed, and [C#] loved,
[F#] and don't [E] remember much [G#] at all.
But [F#m] his words were echoing.
[D]
Midnight summer dream, [C#] and then, awake [F#] again.
Maybe [D] I'll never find him.
Maybe [F#m] he's gone forever.
Maybe [D] I'll have to send him.
[Bm] Why won't you [C#m] wonder what the [D] three of us [C#] are?
Will we [Bm] make it [F#m] out alive?
Show [A] me some words, [C#] that we [F#] all can [F#] write.
[E] [F#] Summer midnight, if [A] you can't sleep the night, well, [G#] then you're in.
[E] [F#m] After midnight, we [D] sat up half the night, or [G#] maybe more.
And [B] I'll begin [G] to tell you what [A] it was all for.
