[Verse 1]

F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
It’s come down to just the two of us
F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
Me and my shadow on the wall
F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
Radio playin’ softly
F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
Somewhere down the hall

[Refrain 1]

D
And over in the next room
E
The hollow sound of the cigarette come

F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m

Bm
I’m sittin’ across from midnight
C#m
And morning is a long way off

[Verse 2]

F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
There’s a fire in the trashcan
F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
In the alley below
F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
A thousand others gather ’round
F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m
Sipping wine and talking low

[Refrain 2]

D
We’re companions of the night time
E
We’ve got no place to go

F#m        F#m          Bm     C#m

Bm
Just sitting across from midnight
C#m
Time dragging by too slow

[Interlude 2]

F#m        F#m          F#m    F#m

[Bridge]

D                E              F#m           F#m
You can feel the night when you’re all alone
D                E
There’s comfort in the room
F#m           F#m
You keep hangin’ on
Bm          C#m        F#m        F#m
You wait … until … the dawn, oh yeah

[Verse 3]


F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
The skeletons in the closet
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
March around like habitué
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
I guess it’s too much to ask for
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
I need some breathing room


[Refrain 3]

D
And the tall city buildings
E
They cover up the moon

F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m

Bm
I’m sitting across from midnight
C#m
Bored and you can’t come to soon

[Refrain 4]

D
The early morning hours
E
Bring out the darkness of your thoughts

F#m   F#m   F#m    F#m

D
When you sit across from midnight
C#m
Morning’s a long way off, so far away

[Outro]

F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m

F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
Sitting across from midnight
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
It’s gettin’ dark
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
Sitting across from midnight
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
Me and the shadow on the wall

F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
Sitting across from midnight
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
Morning’s such a long way off
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
You know I’m sitting across from midnight
F#m   F#m   Bm    C#m
Sitting across from midnight
