   Am                          F 
Midnight, why are you doin' me wrong? 
Am                      F 
Keepin' me up all night long 
      Am                       F 
Every time I feel a little bit free 
             C               G 
I hear those blues, midnight blues 
                          Am 
Convinced they're calling me 

   Am                          F 
Midnight, you keep me runnin' around 
Am                                F 
Made up my mind, I'm gonna settle down 
      Am                       F 
Every time I feel a little bit free 
             C               G 
I hear those blues, midnight blues 
                          Am 
Convinced they're calling me 

C                                       Am 
I just can't help but feel a little bit shamed 
C                                Am 
Every time I hear you calling my name 
F                                           C 
I'm blaming you for all the bad things I've done 
F                                                     G 
Still I will admit that every once in a while, it was fun 

          Am 
Oh, every night 
                     F 
You keep me runnin' around 
Am                                F 
Made up my mind, I'm gonna settle down 
      Am                       F 
Every time I feel a little bit free 
             C               G 
I hear those blues, midnight blues 

Am                       F 
Midnight blues, keeps on calling 
Am                    F 
Night blues, keeps on calling
