Chord transcription by Gerry Smith
(first performance version)

========================


Intro:

Cmaj7/9, F#6, F, Am
F, Em, Eb, C

V1

            Cmaj7/9
I feel like midnight

                  F#6
And whether a new day 

          F
Will ever dawn

          Am
Is just a guess


V2

         F9
I see by starlight

                       Em
The long road from the day

           Eb
That I was born

            C
To this address


Middle 8

           F                 Fm6
     And I look at where you slept

           Am                 F
     And I taste the tears you wept

                Am    Ab     Dbmaj7
     And you're here again except

                    Cmaj7/9
     I feel like midnight


V3 Instrumental: Cmaj7/9, F#6, F, Am, 
                 F9, Em, Eb, C.


V4

                Cmaj7/9
I feel like midnight

                  F#6
And you are here again

                   F
To mock me with a smile

            Am
Each time I say


V5

            F9
I feel like midnight

                      Em
And the only chance I had 

           Eb
To rest a while

         C
I threw away

               F
     Give me a break

                          Em
     Give me the break of day

                 Eb
     I feel like midnight

                 Cmaj7/9    Ebm7
     I feel like midnight

                 F
     I feel like midnight

                 Am
     I feel like midnight
