Midnight And Lonesome

	  		D                                                       
There's a wordless moon that's watching tonight 
                                     A 
There's a garden that's left to grow wild 
D 
There's a sound  with no name when a far away train 
             A       D 
Cries like a unloved child 
D 
The paint on the wall is peeling away 
                                       A 
There's a photograph that fades on the shelf 
        D 
But the memory stays of a love that is gone 
                A     D 
And I'm dancing by myself 
G       D 
Why why I wanna know 
A                               D     
She went and left me nowhere to go 
G       D 
Why why tell me my friend 
D                 A         D 
It's midnight and lonesome again 
 
SOLO 
 
D 
The moon's still alone and I wonder sometimes 
                             A 
If that why the train has to cry 
     D 
So I ask right out loud 
 
But there's no answer now 
                       A      D 
Cause I'm just talking to the sky 
D 
Now the morning is time to get ready 
                                  A 
In the evening you take off your shoes 
D 
Well you work all the day till the sun's gone away 
D                 A            D 
But midnight lays claim to the blues 
G       D 
Why why I wanna know 
A                               D     
She went and left me nowhere to go 
G       D 
Why why tell me my friend 
D                 A         D 
It's midnight and lonesome again
