MIDNIGHT SUMMER DREAM
THE STRANGLERS
INTRO: Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
VERSE:
Dsus2
Woke up on a good day
C#sus2 F#m
And the world was wonderful
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
Dsus2
I dreamt about an old man
C#sus2 F#m
Sat and watched the rain all night
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell
PRE-CHORUS:
Dsus2
He told me of the beauty
F#m
Hidden in our foreheads
Dsus2
He told me of the ugliness
Bm C#m
We show instead
Dsus2 C#sus2
And when we put a foot wrong, do we learn
F#m
From all the pain?
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain
CHORUS:
E F#m Dsus2
Then at midnight he poured another drink
C#sus2
And bent my ear
E F#m Dsus2
After midnight we sat up half the night
C#sus2
Or maybe more
B G F#m
And he began to tell me what it was all for
VERSE:
Dsus2 C#sus2
I woke up in an armchair
F#m
He had gone, I don't know where
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
Left me there to sit and look at the rain
Dsus2 C#sus2
Don't remember much at all
F#m
But his words were echoing
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
A midnight summer dream and then wake again
PRE-CHORUS
Dsus2
Maybe I'll never find him
F#m
Maybe he's gone forever
Dsus2
Maybe I'll have to sit here
Bm C#m
Watching the weather
Dsus2 C#sus2
One thing's pretty certain, helped me
F#m
Make it in the night
Dsus2 C#sus2 F#m
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right
CHORUS:
E F#m Dsus2
So at midnight if you can't sleep
C#sus2
Then I can bend your ear
E F#m Dsus2
After midnight we'll sit up half the night
C#sus2
Or maybe more
B G F#m
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for
