Chords

This song sounds best if you strum down on every eighth note The Intro pattern is repeated throughout all the verses [Intro] |G D|D|Em C|C| x2 [Verse 1]
          G        D
When the sun went down, all the storefronts shut

              Em        C
They roll the sidewalks up around here

          G            D
It's just kids and the cops out after 7 o'clock

              Em          C
So you better had already bought your beer

             G          D
You cut your headlights off trying to not get caught

              Em         C
She's out the window and across the yard

          G          D
She slid it into the seat, slow rolled it down the street

         Em             C
'Til you parked it and the stereo starts

 C
And they say
[Chorus 1]
G                        C
Nothing good ever happens after midnight

 Em                         D
Well maybe midnight's just misunderstood

 G                              C
Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Em                      D
Why did it always feel so damn good?

    G       D
Wrapped up so tight with me, no light

           Em       C
All night, it was alright, alright
[Verse 2]
           G      D
You go as fast as you can, go as far as you want

            Em      C
With nobody out to slow you down

         G             D
She was your rearview queen, you were her ghost street king

      Em               C
While everybody was asleep in the town

     G          D
You watch the red lights blink 'til the horizon's pink

               Em            C
All while her daddy thinks she's still in her bed

                G          D
But when you're young and dumb, the only rule of thumb

            Em          C
Was do the opposite of everything they said

  C
And they said
[Chorus 2]
G                   C
Nothing good ever happens after midnight

 Em                         D
Well maybe midnight's just misunderstood

 G                          C
Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Em                      D
Why did it always feel so damn good?

G          D
Wrapped up so tight, your own paradise

        Em         C
And the dashboard lights, alright, alright
[Solo] |G D|D|Em C|C| [Chorus 1]
G                        C
They say nothing good ever happens after midnight

 Em                         D
Well maybe midnight's just misunderstood

 G                              C
Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight

Em                      D
Why did it always feel so damn good?

    G       D
Wrapped up so tight with me, no light

           Em       C
All night, it was alright, alright

|G D|D|Em C|C|  x4
