Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1] Midnight
                     Em
Not a sound from the pavement

                      C
Has the moon lost her memory

                Bm
Is she smiling alone

       Am                               Em
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet

        D      C       G
And the wind begins to moan
[Verse 2] Memory
                 Em
All alone in the moonlight

                   C
I can smile at the old days

                Bm
I was beautiful then

    Am                          Em
I remember the time I knew what happiness was

        D      C     G
Let the memory live again
[Bridge]
Bm    C          Bm       C
Every streetlamp seems to beat

  Bm  G  A   D        D7
A fatalistic warning

Bm      Em            A
Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters

    Bm           E7 A
And soon it will be morning
[Verse 3]
G
Daylight

                    Em
I must wait for the sunrise

                  C
I must think of a new life

                   Bm
And I mustn't give in

         Am                            Em
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too

      D       C      G
And a new day will begin
[Instrumental] D# Cm G# Gm Fm Cm A# G# D# [Bridge]
Gm        Fm      Gm    Fm
Burnt out ends of smoky days

    Gm         D#    F  A#       A#7
The stale cold smell of morning

  Gm         Cm            F
A streetlamp dies, another night is over

 Gm         C7 F
Another day is dawning
[Verse 3]
A#
Touch me

                Gm
It's so easy to leave me

                   D#
All alone with the memory

                  Dm
Of my days in the sun

             Cm                         Gm
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is

        F       D#    A#   C7  B  A#
Look, a new day has begun_____________
