Joe Cocker – Across From Midnight (Guitar)

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

D
And over in the next room

E
The hollow sound of the cigarette come

Bm
I’m sittin’ across from midnight

C#m
And morning is a long way off

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

D
We’re companions of the night time

E
We’ve got no place to go

Bm
Just sitting across from midnight

C#m
Time dragging by too slow

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

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

D
And the tall city buildings

E
They cover up the moon

Bm
I’m sitting across from midnight

C#m
Bored and you can’t come to soon

D
The early morning hours

E
Bring out the darkness of your thoughts

D
When you sit across from midnight

C#m
Morning’s a long way off, so far away

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
