Midnight
                 Gm
All alone in the room
C
Streetlights
                     Gm
Shadows dance in the gloom
        C
Cold as ice
                   Gm
In the dark at the moon
     C                     A
Soft cries from the silent cocoon

     C                         Gm
Dark sounds from the room next door
      C
Heavy fall
                       Gm
I can hear through the wall
      C
Stark light
             Gm
No answer my call
     C
This fight
                     A
There`s no victor at all

One dream
C        Gm
Could be true
Gm  C
One hope
            Gm
To see this through
Bb  F
One heart
C             Gm
Caught on the ropes
Gm  C
One love
           A
Gone up in smoke

So now
                    Gm
I just stand at the cross
      C
which path
                    Gm
Should I take it be lost
   C
Oh Lord
                    Gm
Can`t you give me a sign
   C                           A
So peace of the heart could be mine
