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

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

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

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
