Mr. Midnight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
House is burning, [G]you
can't go home
Got no reason to be all alone
[Dm]Sneaking down the alley like
a snake in the grass
[G]To see where you're going I
don't need a looking glass
[Em]I won't

[Verse 2]
judge you at [G]a distance,
we [Em]all got our ways to get a[G]long
[Em]Once the two of you start
to dan[G]cing
You're gonna [A]dance now till
the dance [D]floor's gone
Now you [G]can't go out,

[Verse 3]
[B]can't go home
[C]Even in a crowd you feel [A]all alone,
[C]find yourself hiding from [D]the light
You [G]need that money, you got [B]no shame,
[C]just a pawn running [A]in his game
[C]With Mr. Midnight, [D]it's always [G]the same

[Verse 4]
Too many lies, [G]the web gets so tight
Tangle at an angle that
you just can't see right
[D]Heavy loaded and flying low,
[G]you say you got it all under control
[Em]I know

[Verse 5]
why you go back [G]to him
[Em]though he's such a mean [G]old man
He [Em]whispers secrets in [G]your ear,
now his [A]wish is your [D]command
Now you [G]can't go out,

[Verse 6]
[B]can't go home
[C]Even in a crowd you feel [A]all alone,
[C]find yourself hiding from [D]the light
You [G]need that money, you got [B]no shame,
[C]just a pawn running [A]in his game
[C]With Mr. Midnight, [D]it's always [G]the same

[Interlude 1]

[G]

[Verse 7]
You're running downhill [G]and
you just cannot stop
Your whole life is small
enough to fit in a matchbox
[D]Holding patterns on
well- worn [C]ground
Cowards, [G]corners making [C]the rounds
[Em]Who's looking back
at you in [G]the mirror
[Em]Skin and bones, you look so [G]thin
[Em]This is his song you sing [G]along to,
it's called notify [A]my next [D]of kin
'Cause I [G]can't go out,

[Verse 8]
[B]can't go home
[C]Even in a crowd I feel [A]all alone,
[C]find myself hiding from [D]the light
[G]Need some money, got [B]no shame,
[C]just a pawn running [A]in [C]his game
[D]Wit[G]h Mr.[C] Midnight,
[D]it's always [G]the same
[C]Mr. Midnight [D]it's always [Em]the s[A]am[C]e[D]
