Verse 1:
G+G       C majorC        G+G
Into this pitch darkness we're hurled
   D MajorD       C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Where there's not a glimmer of light
G+G      C majorC     G+G
It's not the end of the world

It's just the middle of the night


Verse 2:
G+G          C majorC     G+G
And the blackest of flags is unfurled
D MajorD      C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
In all this absence of light
G+G      C majorC     G+G
It's not the end of the world good people
D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
Merely the middle of the night

Bridge:
    C majorC         G+G
The middle of the night that's what this is
C majorC               G+G     D MajorD
If death is the real test this is just a quiz
A minorAm                   E minorEm
When grey creeps through your window it will be day light

The end of this darkness is almost in sight

Verse 3:
G+G       C majorC      G+G
Into a ball of fear you are curled
D MajorD           C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
And you're holding on with all of your might
G+G        C majorC     G+G
But it's not the end of the world little sister
D MajorD       C majorC       G+G    D MajorD
It's just the middle of the night

Verse 4:
G+G            C majorC      G+G
In the maelstrom of your mind you are swirled
D MajorD           C majorC       G+G   D MajorD
You're almost down the drain but not quite
G+G      C majorC     G+G
It's not the end of the world my brother
D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
Rather the middle of the night

Bridge 2:
C majorC                 G+G
The middle of the night when you fear everything
C majorC                 G+G       D MajorD
But the birds will awake soon you will hear them sing
A minorAm              E minorEm
You doubted you'd make it not sure you'd survive
C majorC           D MajorD
Now you're dead tired you're still alive

D MajorD        C majorC      G+G


Verse 5:
G+G          C majorC      G+G
Around fate's fickle finger we're twirled
D MajorD         C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
Small wonder we're all so up tight
G+G        C majorC      G+G
But it's not the end of the world good people
D MajorD     C majorC       G+G
Merely the middle of the night
G+G        C majorC      G+G
No it's not the end of the world as we know it
D MajorD       C majorC       G+G
It's just the middle of the night
