Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em]
[Am][Bm]

[Verse 1]
It's [Em]come down to just the two [Am]of us[A]
[Bm]Me and my shad[Em]ow on
[Am]the wall[Bm]
[Em]Radio playing [Am]softly some[Bm]where
down the [Em]hall[Am][Bm]
[C]And over in the next [D]room
The hollow [Em]sound of a cigarette cough
Oh I'm [Am]sit ting across
from [Bm]midnight
And morning's [Em]a long way off
[Am][Bm][Em]

[Verse 2]
[A][Bm]
There's [Em]a fire in a trash [Am]can
In [Bm]the alley b[Em]elow[D][Asus4][Bm]
[Em]The down and outers gather [Am]round
[Bm]Sippin' [Em]wine and talkin'
[Am]low[Bm]
We're com[C]panions of the night [D]time
We got no place [Em]to go
Sit[Am]tin' across from [Bm]midnight
And time draggin' [Em]by too
slow
[Asus4][Bm][Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]
You can feel the [D]night when you're
[Em]all [G]alone[C]
There's comfort in [D]the room
you keep [Em]hangin' on
You [Am]wait [Bm]until the dawn

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em]
[Am][Bm][Em][C][D][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm]

[Verse 4]
[Em]The skeletons in the [A]closet
March [Bm]around like [Em]a platoon[Am]
[Bm]I guess it's too m[Em]uch to ask for[Am]
[Em]I need some breathing [Am]room[Bm]
And the [C]tall city [D]buildings
They cover [Bm]up the moon
[Em]Oh I'm sit t[Am]ing across from
[Bm]midnight
And morning can't [Em]come [Am]too soon[Bm]
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em]

[Verse 5]
The [C]early morning [D]hours
Bring out the darkness of
[Em]your [C]thoughts
[Bm]And [Em]you'r[Am]e[Bm][Em][Am]
[Bm]sitting [Em]across from [Am]midnight
[Bm]And[Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am]
[Bm]
[Em]morning a lo[Am]ng way off[Bm][Em]

[Outro 1]
