       MIDNIGHT SUMMER DREAM
         THE STRANGLERS

INTRO: Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
    Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m

VERSE:
    Dsus2
Woke up on a good day
C#sus2           F#m
   And the world was wonderful
      Dsus2    C#sus2     F#m
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
 Dsus2
I dreamt about an old man
C#sus2       F#m
Sat and watched the rain all night
          Dsus2     C#sus2   F#m
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell


PRE-CHORUS:
  Dsus2
He told me of the beauty
            F#m
   Hidden in our foreheads
          Dsus2
He told me of the ugliness
        Bm C#m
We show instead
  Dsus2          C#sus2
And when we put a foot wrong, do we learn
       F#m
From all the pain?
      Dsus2   C#sus2       F#m
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain


CHORUS:
E     F#m            Dsus2
 Then at midnight he poured another drink
        C#sus2
And bent my ear
E    F#m            Dsus2
 After midnight we sat up half the night
    C#sus2
Or maybe more
    B     G           F#m
And he began to tell me what it was all for


VERSE:
 Dsus2      C#sus2
I woke up in an armchair
        F#m
He had gone, I don't know where
       Dsus2   C#sus2    F#m
Left me there to sit and look at the rain
       Dsus2  C#sus2
Don't remember much at all
          F#m
But his words were echoing
      Dsus2     C#sus2   F#m
A midnight summer dream and then wake again


PRE-CHORUS
         Dsus2
Maybe I'll never find him
        F#m
Maybe he's gone forever
         Dsus2
Maybe I'll have to sit here
Bm       C#m
 Watching the weather
      Dsus2  C#sus2
One thing's pretty certain, helped me
    F#m
Make it in the night
       Dsus2    C#sus2     F#m
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right


CHORUS:
E    F#m         Dsus2
 So at midnight if you can't sleep
     C#sus2
Then I can bend your ear
E    F#m         Dsus2
 After midnight we'll sit up half the night
  C#sus2
Or maybe more
   B       G           F#m
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for

VERSE:

I Wake up on a good day
C#sus2             F#m
   And the world feels wonderful
       Dsus2          C#sus2 F#m
A Midnight summer dream has me in its spell
