[Verse]
Am F#m7-5 Bm7-5 E7
It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight;
Am7 D7 Fm7 Ddim Em7 A7
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 Am7
Supper time, I'm feelin' sad,
Cdim Bm7-5 E7
But it really gets bad 'round midnight.
[Verse]
Am F#m7-5 Bm7-5 E7
Mem'ries always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight;
Am D7 Fm7 Ddim Em7 A7
Haven't got the heart to stand those mem'ries;
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 Am7
When my heart is still with you,
Cdim Bm7-5 E7 Am Am7
And old midnight knows it too.
[Bridge]
F#m7-5 B7/-9 E7
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
F#m7-5 B7/-9 E7
Does that mean that our love is ending?
Dm7 Cmaj7 F7 E7
Darling, I need you; lately I find
A7 G7 F7 E7
You're out of my arms and I'm out of my mind.
[Verse]
Am F#m7-5 Bm7-5 E7
Let our love take wing some midnight, 'round midnight;
Am D7 Fm7 Ddim Em7 A7
Let the angels sing for your returning;
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 Am7 Fm9
Let our love be safe and sound
Cdim Bm7-5 E7 Am
When old midnight comes around.
