CAPO SECOND FRET
D MajorD
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the day –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
D MajorD
Bring me southern kisses from your room.
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the night –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
D MajorD
Let me smell the moon in your perfume.
D MajorD
Oh, gods and years will rise and fall and there’s always something more
D MajorD
Lost in talk, I waste my time, and it’s all been said before.
D MajorD
While further down behind the masquerade, the tears are there.
D MajorD
I don’t ask for all that much – I just want someone to ca-a-a-are! That’s right, now!
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the day –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
D MajorD
Come on out beneath the shining sun.
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the night –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
D MajorD
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run! Yeah!
Oh, yeah, yeah!
D MajorD
It’s king and queen and we must go down, now, beyond the chandelier
D MajorD
Where I won’t have to speak my mind and you won’t have to hear
D MajorD
Shreds of news and after thoughts and complicated scenes.
D MajorD
We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines!
Ah-yaya-yay! I ******* to go now!
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the day –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
D MajorD
Bring me southern kisses from your room. Hey, hey!
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the night –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
D MajorD
Let me smell the moon in your perfume. Aw, now!
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the day –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s OK.
D MajorD
Let me see you smiling back at me. He-e-ey!
G/F#
Meet me in the middle of the night –
EM
Let me hear you say
Everything’s all right.
D MajorD
Hold me tight. In loving, love is free.
Ow, hey!
