Intro: C G F C G Am (x2)


verse 1
C                   G
True romance in the dead of the night
    F                     G
The breeze in the air, it almost glistens
Am                 G
And the earth is a glorious sight
     F                 G
When nobody speaks and nobody listens


Pre-Chorus
F                   G
You're gonna have a night to remember
F                 Dm    Em    F      G
You're gonna be a real, live, hot contender

C    G              F
Sleeptalking in the dead of the night
C    G             Am
Cold coffee in the china
C       G              F
Friends talking in the dead of the night
C    G         F
Promises, it's always the way
C    G         F
Promises, it's always the way

verse 2
C                  G
Running off by the light of the moon
    F                     G
The hand on your heart is almost hidden
Am                G
You try from your favourite room
   F                    G
To get at the truth but it's forbidden


Pre-Chorus
F                   G
You've never been a shoulder to cry on
F                     Dm  Em F    G
The lover's pledge is not to be relied on



C    G              F
Sleeptalking in the dead of the night
C    G             Am
Cold coffee in the china
C       G              F
Friends talking in the dead of the night
C    G         F
Promises, it's always the way
C    G    N.C.
Promises, it's always the way

verse 3
C                G
Old friends in a sepia frame
    F                     G
The proud photograph, the truth it measures
Am          G
Is why in humanity's name
    F                     G
You take from the wounded personal treasures


Pre-Chorus
F                   G
You've never been a friend to depend on
F                 Dm    Em F       G
You've never understood my view of heaven


Solo

And the earth is a glorious sight

When nobody speaks and nobody listens
