Midnight Strikes Too Soon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Asus4][D][Asus4][D][C][G]
[D][A][C][D][G]
Cathy's [D]hailing

[Verse 1]
a cab like she's hailing a storm
Unto [E]the streets of new york city
[D]Once we're inside, it's a carnival ride
That brings [E]a white knuckle
kind of dizzy
She takes me [D]up on

[Verse 2]
her rooftop,
Framed by a backdrop [E]of
watertanks and [Em]chimneys
She's [D]wrapped round a cigarette,
Lecturing etiquette,
while I [E]look in the windows
Beneath me
[D]

[Verse 3]
We took in [A]Saturday and
it was [C]medicine[G]
And when [D]nighttime came the sky
[A]line just swallowed
[D]The moon[C][G]
Cathy [D]lays the blame on
[A]thomas alva [C]edison
[G]And [D]60 [A]million
lightbulbs telling [C]new york that
It's [G]noon
Ah, [C]midnight strikes too
[G]soon[D][A][C]
[G]
Midnight strikes too soon
She says, "in [D]new york

[Verse 4]
city,
they throw their
Wishes into wells
'cause you can[E]'t see a star,
unless one hit you when
It fell - - "
"and if [D]even you caught one," I say,
"who
Could you tell in this [E]whole
damn town who'd
Believe you? "
[D]She smiled like

[Verse 5]
a cat would to a
pigeon on the roof
She says, "I [E]look into windows
for universal truths"
[D]And we drank in the moment
like whiskey hundred
Proof
"but if or[E]ion fell," she said,
"I'd tell [D]you"
The view [A]from

[Verse 6]
her roof
could make your head
[C]Just spi[G]n
It was like [D]holding up the world
[A]in a t[C]ablespoon[G]
And we [D]drank it down,m every
light [A]in town
Like the [C]sweetest, kindest medi[G]cine
I [D]made my wish on [A]a satellite dish
But still mid[C]night strikes too [G]soon
[C]Midnight strikes too [G]soon[D]
[A]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[D][A][C][G]
[Em]
Cathy never [D]seems to

[Verse 7]
slow down
[Em]She's a hurricane [D]work
ing a skyscraper [Em]town
She laughs at me, says I'm
sub[D]urban bound
But the [C]truth is I live on a high[G]way
[Em]I come

[Verse 8]
to this city for
[D]the solace of her roof
Every [Em]window tells a story
[D]in cold hard truth
As the [Em]world spins beneath me,
I [D]ask it for proof
That I'm [C]living my life in my [G]own way
Or will time just have it's own [A]say
[D]

[Verse 9]
Midnight strikes too [E]soon
Mid[D]night strikes too [E]soon
[D]Midnight strikes too [E]soon[D]
Midnight strikes too [E]soon
