[Song]
[Verse 1]
Dm C Am Dm
Half past twelve
F G F G
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
F G C Dm
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Dm C Am Dm
Au - tumn winds
F G F G
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
F G C Dm
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Bb6
There's not a soul out there,
Gm6 Dm/A A
no one to hear my pray - er
[Chorus]
Dm Bb6 C9 Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Bb6 C9 Dm
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Bb6 C9 Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Bb6 C9 Dm
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
[Verse 2]
Dm C Am Dm
Mo - vie stars
F G F G
Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win
F G C Dm
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Dm C Am Dm
Tired of T.V.
F G F G
I open the window and I gaze into the night
F G C Dm
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
Bb6
There's not a soul out there,
Gm6 Dm/A A
no one to hear my pray - er
[Chorus]
Dm Bb6 C9 Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Bb6 C9 Dm
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Bb6 C9 Dm
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Bb6 C9 Dm
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
