Version 1D/A at the end of the main progression seems to be played on a live version rather than the studio, so simplify that to D if you wish, though D/A is more interesting to play. [Intro] G G/F# Em G7/D C C/B D/A x2 [Verse] G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the day Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s okay C C/B D/A Bring me southern kisses from your room. G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the night Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s alright. C C/B D/A Let me smell the moon in your perfume. [Chorus 1] C G/B Am D Oh, gods and years will rise and fall and there’s always something more C G/B Am D Lost in talk, I waste my time, and it’s all been said before. C G/B Am D While further down behind the masquerade, the tears are there. C G/B Am D I don’t ask for all that much – I just want someone to ca-a-a-are! That’s right, now! [Verse] G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the day Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s okay C C/B D/A Come on out beneath the shining sun. G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the night Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s alright C C/B D/A Sneak on out beneath the stars and run! [Interlude] G G/F# Em G7/D C C/B D/A Yeah! [Solo] G G/F# Em G7/D C C/B D/A [Chorus 2] C G/B Am D It’s king and queen and we must go down, now, beyond the chandelier C G/B Am D Where I won’t have to speak my mind and you won’t have to hear C G/B Am D Shreds of news and after thoughts and complicated scenes. C G/B Am D We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines! Ah-yaya-yay! I ******* to go now! [Verse] G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the day Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s okay C C/B D/A Bring me southern kisses from your room. Hey, hey! G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the night Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s alright C C/B D/A Let me smell the moon in your perfume. Aw, now! G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the day Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s okay C C/B D/A Let me see you smiling back at me. He-e-ey! G G/F# Meet me in the middle of the night Em Let me hear you say G7/D Everything’s alright C C/B D/A Hold me tight. In loving, love is free. Ow, hey! [Outro] G G/F# Em G7/D C C/B D/A G G/F# Em G7/D C C/B D/A oh yeah! G G/F# Em G7/D C C/B D/A x2
