[Pedal Steel Solo] [Riff 1] | Em | A | D | D | | Em | A | D | D (Riff 2) | [Verse 1]
                 Em            A                       D
What makes a man think that he   can forget about what used to be

                  Em           A                      D
Be happy with the way life is,   not think about what once was his

                  Em           A
Whiskey drunk and under the gun

                G         D  (Riff 2)
I'm taking me a midnight run
[Chorus]
                Em           A
I'm taking me a midnight run

            D
I'm making another one

                    Em               E                         A
A thousand miles or more I'll drive    to where I lived when I thought I was alive

                         G           A
They'll never know I was ever around

               D
Just my shadow on the ground

               Em           A
I turn east to face the sun

                  G         D  (Riff 2)
After making me a midnight run
[Solo] [Riff 1] | Em | A | D | D | x3 | Em | A | D | (Riff 2) | [Verse 2]
                          Em           A
I tell you all 'cause you need to know

                    D
They don't call for me to go

                          Em              E
I hear that voice coming 'cross the miles

                       A
I got no choice but to be gone a while

                        G             A
I say get in you better lock and load

                   D
Don't let the wind block the road

                 Em             A
I'll be gone but when it's done

                    G         D  (Riff 2)
I'm all alone on my midnight run
[Chorus]
                Em           A
I'm taking me a midnight run

            D
I'm making another one

                    Em               E                         A
A thousand miles or more I'll drive    to where I lived when I thought I was alive

                         G           A
They'll never know I was ever around

               D
Just my shadow on the ground

               Em           A
I turn east to face the sun

                  G         D  (Riff 2)
After making me a midnight run
