_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am]
It's [Dm] come down to just the two of [Gm] us, me and [Am] my shadow [Dm] on the wall, _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ radio playing [Gm] softly
[Am] somewhere down [Dm] the hall, _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ and over in the next [C] room, the holler [Dm] sound of a cigarette cough,
[G] _ [Dm] _
Oh [Gm] I'm sitting across from midnight, [Am] _ and mornings are [Dm] long way off,
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Dm] There's a fire in a trash [Gm] can, [Am] in the alley [Dm] below,
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] The down and outers gather [Gm] round, [Am] sipping wine [Dm] and talking low,
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Bb] We're companions of the night [C] time, got no [Dm] place to go,
_ [C] _ _ _
[Gm] Just sitting across from midnight, [Am] _ _
time dragging [Dm] by too slow, _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] You can feel [C] the night when you're [Dm] all alone, _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] There's comfort [C] in the room, you [Dm] keep hanging on, _ _ _ _
Can you [Gm] wait _ _ [Am] until the [C] dawn? _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] The skeletons in [Gm] the closet, _ [C]
march [Dm] around like a herd,
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ I guess it's too [Gm] much to ask [Am] for, I [Dm] need some breathing room,
_ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Bb] And the tall city [C] buildings, they cover [Dm] up the moon,
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[Gm] I'm sitting across from midnight, [Am] and morning can't [Dm] come to me,
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Bb] All the early morning [C] hours, bring out the darkness [Dm] of your thoughts, _ _ _
And [Bb] you're sitting across from midnight, [Am] _ and morning [Dm] will always come,
[Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Am] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
