It's [Dm] come down to just the two of [Gm] us, me and [Am] my shadow [Dm] on the wall, _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] radio playing [Gm] softly
[Am] somewhere down [Dm] the hall.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ And over in the [C] next room, the holler [Dm] sound of a cigarette cough. _ _
Oh, [Gm] I'm sitting across from midnight, [Am] _ and morning's a [Dm] long way off.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Dm] There's a fire in a trash [Gm] can [Am] in the alley [Dm] below.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] The down and outers gather [Gm] round, [Am] sipping wine [Dm] and talking low.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Bb] We're companions of the night [C] time, got no [Dm] place to go.
_ [C] Oh no. _
[Gm] Just sitting across from midnight, [Am] _ _
time dragging [Dm] by too slow. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] You can feel [C] the night when you're [Dm] all alone. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] There's comfort in [C] the room you [Dm] keep hanging on. _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] And you wait _ _ [Am] until the [C] dawn. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _

_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] The skeletons in [Gm] the closet _ [Am]
march [Dm] around like a herd.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ I guess it's too [Gm] much to ask [Am] for.
I [Dm] need some breathing room.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Bb] And the tall city [C] buildings, they cover [Dm] up the moon.
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
[Gm] I'm sitting across from midnight, [Am] and morning came [Dm] calling too soon.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _
[Bb] All the early morning hours [C] bring out the darkness [Dm] of your thoughts. _ _ _ _
[Bb] And you're sitting across from midnight, [Am] _ and [Dm] morning's a long way off.
