:Intro Riff:
F                    Dm  
The morning is dead and the day is too

Bm                                     E 
There's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon

C                  G
All my loneliness I have felt today

D                              F                            F#
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away

G             F F# G                        F F# G
And I continue    to burn the Midnight Lamp,    alone 
:Intro Riff:
F
Now the smiling portrait of you

Dm
Is still hanging on my frowning wall

Bm                                               E
It really doesn't, it really doesn't bother me   too much at all

C                                 G
It's just the uh ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see

D               
That forgotten earring laying on the floor

F                           F#
Facing coldly towards the door

G             F F# G                         F F#  G
And I continue      to burn the Midnight Lamp,     all alone   Burn!
:F----F#- G----: Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely, lonely
G----
Loneliness is such a drag
:Intro Riff:
F                     Dm
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace

Bm
Getting ready for the same old explosion

E
Going through my mind

C
And soon enough the time will tell

G
About the circus in the wishing well

D
And someone who will buy and sell for me

F                          F#
Someone who will toll my bell

G              F F#  G                          F F# G
And I continue        to burn the same old lamp,     alone
G-----F F# G------- F F# G------- Yeah Darling, can you hear me calling you? So lonely Gotta blow my mind Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely . . .
