[C#m]
[D] I woke up on a good day, [C#] and [G#] the world was [F#m] wonderful.
[D]
A midnight summer dream [C#] had me in [F#m] its spell.
[D] I dreamt about an old man, [C#] [G#] sat and [F#m] watched the rain all night.
[D] He couldn't sleep a wink, [C#] as all the drops fell.
[F#m]
[D] He told me of the beauty hidden in our [F#m] foreheads, and he told me [D] of the ugliness we showed him.
[Bm] [C#m]
[D] And when we put a foot wrong, [C#m] he would [G#] learn from all [F#m] the pain.
[D] A midnight summer dream, [C#] as he watched the rain.
[F#m]
[E] [D] Then at midnight, he poured another drink and bent my ear.
[C#m] [G#m]
[E] And [D] after midnight, we sat up half the night, or maybe [G#m] more, and he [C#] began to tell me [G] what it was all for.
[F#m] [G#]
[D] I woke up in an [C#] armchair.
[G#] He had [F#m] gone I don't know where.
He left me [D] here to sit and look at the rain.
[C#]
[F#m]
[D] I don't remember much at all, [C#] but his words were [G#]
[F#m] echoing.
[D]
A midnight summer dream, [C#] and then it began.
[F#m]
[D] Maybe I'll never find him.
[F#m] Maybe he's gone forever.
[D] Maybe I'll have to sit here, [Bm] watching the weather.
[C#] [G#m]
[D] But one thing's pretty certain.
[C#] [G#m] He'll be making it [F#m] in the night, and he'll show [D] him somewhere else, between [G#] wrong and right.
[F#m]
[E] [F#m] So at midnight, [D]
if you can't sleep, then I will [A] bend your [G#m] ear.
[E] [D] And after midnight, we sat up half the night, or maybe [C#m] more, and I'll begin to tell you [G] what it's all for.
