A                C#m                       F#m               A7
  Meet me in the middle of the day, let me hear you say everything's okay
D                   A                  E
  Bring me southern kisses from your room

D                   A                         E7sus4             E
Gods and years will rise and fall and there's always something more
D               A                      E7sus4            E
Lost in talk, I waste my time and it's all been said before
      D              A               E7sus4               E
While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there
D               A                    E7sus4          E
I don't ask for all that much I just want someone to care

  Meet me in the middle of the day, let me hear you say everything's okay
D               A                   E
  Come on out beneath the shining sun
A                C#m                         F#m               A7
  Meet me in the middle of the night, let me hear you say everything's alright
D                A                     E
  Sneak on out beneath the stars and run


Break

     D                     A              E7sus4           E
It's king and queen and we must go down behind the chandelier
      D                 A               E7sus4              E
Where I won't have to speak my mind and you won't have to hear
D                  A                 E7sus4          E
Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes
      D              A                  E7sus4        E
We'll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines


Repeat verse 1

D                A                E
  Let me see you smiling back at me

A                C#m                         F#m               A7
  Meet me in the middle of the night, let me hear you say everything's alright
D                     A                   E
  Hold me tight where love and loving's free
