              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:
         Dsus2
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
