Lyrics

Half past twelve and I’m (G)watch in’ the late show in my flat all a lone, how I hate to spend the eve ning on my (Dm)own.

Au tumn winds blow in’ (G)out side my win dow as I look a round the room, and it makes me so de pressed to see the (Dm)gloom.

There’s not a soul out there,

no one to hear my prayer.

(Dm)Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, won’t some bod y (Dm)help me chase the (C)shad ows a way.

Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, take me through the (Dm)dark ness to the (C)break of the day.

Mov ie stars find the (G)end of the rain bow with a for tune to win, it’s so dif f’rent from the world I’m liv in’ (Dm)in.

Tired of T V, I (G)o pen the win dow and I gaze in to the night, but there’s noth ing there to see, no one in (Dm)sight.

There’s not a soul out there,

no one to hear my prayer.

(Dm)Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, won’t some bod y (Dm)help me chase the (C)shad ows a way.

Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, take me through the (Dm)dark ness to the (C)break of the day.

(C)break of the day.

Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, won’t some bod y (Dm)help me chase the (C)sha dows a way.

Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, take me through the (Dm)dark ness to the (C)break of the day.

Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, take me through the (Dm)dark ness to the (C)break of the day.

Gim me!

Gim me!

(Gm)Gim me!

A man af ter mid night, take me through the (Dm)dark ness to the (C)break of the day.

(C)break of the day.
