lyrics

Always Midnight Words Fred Grittner, Music Jan Hauenstein

(Am) (Dm6) (E) (E7) (Am) (D2) (D4) (Em)
Hopes past fading,
(Em9)Fears cascading,
(Am) What are we to (B7)do?
A (Em)surge of terror
Filled with (Em/D)human error,
What’s (C)clearly false, now is (B7)said to be true.

(Bbj7) I saw them in (Am7)darkened corners,
(Dm) Never thought they would (E7)see the light.
They’re (Am) standing tall as (Dm6)we take the fall,
The (E)clock says it’s (E7)always (Am)midnight,
(Gm6/Bb)Always (Am)midnight. (Dm6) (E) (E7) (Am) (D2) (D4) (Em)

Some preach resistance,
(Em9)That takes persistence,
It’s (Am)all in the follow-(B7)through.
Some (Em)pull up the covers,
A(Em/D)voiding blood brothers,
A(C)fraid who they’re talking (B7)to.

(Bbj7) I saw them in (Am7)darkened corners,
(Dm) Never thought they would (E7)see the light.
They’re (Am) standing tall as (Dm6)we take the fall,
The (E)clock says it’s (E7)always (Am)midnight,
(Gm6/Bb)Always (Am)midnight. (Dm6) (E) (E7) (Am) (D2) (D4) (Em)

You’ll get no answer
From (Em9)this song-and-dancer,
(Am)This is not an (B7) interview.
A (Em)song is something,
But (Em/D)it’s next to nothing,
Com(C)pared to this dirty (B7) ballyhoo.

(Bbj7) I saw them in (Am7) darkened corners,
(Dm)Never thought they would (E7)see the light.
They’re (Am)standing tall as (Dm6)we take the fall,
The (E)clock says it’s (E7)always (Am)midnight,
(Gm6/Bb)Always (Am)midnight,
(Gm6/Bb) Always (Am)midnight. (Dm6) (E) (E7) (Am) (D2) (D4) (Em9)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
