Key: D
Introduction: D2 C#2 F#m
D2
Woke up on a good day
C#2 F#m
And the world was wonderful
D2 C#2 F#m
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
D2
I dreamt about an old man
C#2 F#m
Sat and watched the rain all night
D2 C#2 F#m
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell
Pre-Chorus
D2
He told me of the beauty
F#m
Hidden in our foreheads
D2
He told me of the ugliness
Bm C#m
We show instead
D2 C#2
And when we put a foot wrong, do we learn
F#m
From all the pain?
D2 C#2 F#m
A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain
E F#m D2
Then at midnight he poured another drink
C#2
And bent my ear
E F#m D2
After midnight we sat up half the night
C#2
Or maybe more
B G F#m
And he began to tell me what it was all for
D2 C#2
I woke up in an armchair
F#m
He had gone, I don't know where
D2 C#2 F#m
Left me there to sit and look at the rain
D2 C#2
Don't remember much at all
F#m
But his words were echoing
D2 C#2 F#m
A midnight summer dream and then wake again
Pre-Chorus
D2
Maybe I'll never find him
F#m
Maybe he's gone forever
D2
Maybe I'll have to sit here
Bm C#m
Watching the weather
D2 C#2
One thing's pretty certain, helped me
F#m
Make it in the night
D2 C#2 F#m
Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right
E F#m D2
So at midnight if you can't sleep
C#2
Then I can bend your ear
E F#m D2
After midnight we'll sit up half the night
C#2
Or maybe more
B G F#m
And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for
D2
I Wake up on a good day
C#2 F#m
And the world feels wonderful
D2 C#2 F#m
A Midnight summer dream has me in its spell
