Chords

[Verse 1]
G              C               G
Into this pitch darkness we're hurled

     D              C          G       D
Where there's not a glimmer of light

G            C          G
It's not the end of the world

D            C              G           
It's just the middle of the night
[Verse 2]
G                   C          G
And the blackest of flags is unfurled

D           C          G       D
In all this absence of light

G            C          G
It's not the end of the world good people

D          C             G
Merely the middle of the night
[Bridge]
       C                 G
The middle of the night that's what this is

C                              G         D
If death is the real test this is just a quiz

Am                                      Em
When grey creeps through your window it will be day light

C                           G          D
The end of this darkness is almost in sight
G C G D C G D G C G D C G [Verse 3]
G              C            G
Into a ball of fear you are curled

D                     C                G             D
And you're holding on with all of your might

G                C          G
But it's not the end of the world little sister

D             C             G       
It's just the middle of the night
[Verse 4]
G                        C            G
In the maelstrom of your mind you are swirled

D                      C             G      D
You're almost down the drain but not quite

G            C          G
It's not the end of the world my brother

D          C             G
Rather the middle of the night
[Bridge 2]
C                                 G
The middle of the night when you fear everything

C                                 G              D
But the birds will awake soon you will hear them sing

Am                            Em
You doubted you'd make it not sure you'd survive

C                      D
Now you're dead tired you're still alive
G C G D C G D G C G D C G [Verse 5]
G                    C            G
Around fate's fickle finger we're twirled

D                  C         G         D
Small wonder we're all so up tight

G                C           G
But it's not the end of the world good people

D          C             G
Merely the middle of the night

G               C            G
No it's not the end of the world as we know it

D             C             G
It's just the middle of the night
