Verse 1:
C majorC
Midnight
   FF           A minorAm
I stare out the window from my room
      G+G           C majorC
I hear the dogs, it's going to be dawn soon
 FF          A minorAm G+G
I wonder where you are
   C majorC
In my mind's eye
  FF           A minorAm
I’m floating alone in the night sky
  G+G             C majorC
The treetops, the buildings beneath me
 FF           A minorAm G+G
I feel my heart beating

Instrumental:
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G

Pre-Chorus 1:
  C majorC    FF     A minorAm
So I try to find anything
      G+G         C majorC
To kill the time, to quiet my mind
    FF          A minorAm
There's got to be something
    G+G N.C.
There's gotta be someone

Chorus:
A minorAm     FF       C majorC      G+G
Else still awake, in this city I can't take
    A minorAm         FF
Another night, and I can’t stay
      C majorC         G+G
I've got to break, a-break, a-break
       C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
These chains away, away
     C majorC  FF A minorAm G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Verse 3:
  C majorC
The bars close
  FF             A minorAm
We stumble around through the echoes
G+G            C majorC
Hiding our past in some old clothes
     FF         A minorAm G+G
Like it's some dirty secret

Pre-Chorus 2:
  C majorC     FF          A minorAm
And I see your face in the passing light
       G+G
It's so good tonight
              C majorC
I'm tired of putting up this fight
    FF          A minorAm
There's got to be somewhere
    G+G N.C.
There's got to be someone

Chorus 2:
A minorAm     FF       C majorC      G+G
Else still alive, in this city I can't hide
    A minorAm         FF
Another night, and I can't stay
      C majorC         G+G
I've got to break, a-break, a-break
       C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
These chains away, away
       C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
These chains away, away
     C majorC  FF
Ooh, ooh, ooh
     A minorAm G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Middle 8:
   A minorAm      FF
They lead into the wind
     C majorC          G+G
Riding on nerves and choking engines
      A minorAm          FF
Built for a time now fifty years gone
        C majorC         G+G
I can hear them whispering at the dawn
     A minorAm      FF
When I'm alone in this cell
         C majorC          G+G
With ten thousand words and nowhere to go
           A minorAm    FF           C majorC G+G
And I wish you could know, how much I still need you

Instrumental:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G

Pre-Chorus 3:
  A minorAm      FF
The spell of this town
         C majorC         G+G
The graves on the hill lit up like a crown
         A minorAm         FF
The names on the signs, I can't even say
    C majorC         G+G N.C.
How to break, a-break, a-break
       C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
These chains away, away
       C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
These chains away, away

Instrumental:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G

Outro:
  C majorC        FF      A minorAm      G+G
Sometimes I feel the pain at the heart of this ember
     C majorC    FF       A minorAm    G+G
All these ashes I choke on, does anyone remember
     C majorC         FF     A minorAm      G+G
Where we came from, why we came to a place with no center
    C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
And no e---edge
    C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
And no e----end

Instrumental:
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G
C majorC
