There's a wordless moon that's watching tonight
A
There's a garden that's left to grow wild
D
There's a sound with no name when a far away train
A D
Cries like a unloved child
D
The paint on the wall is peeling away
A
There's a photograph that fades on the shelf
D
But the memory stays of a love that is gone
A D
And I'm dancing by myself
G D
Why why I wanna know
A D
She went and left me nowhere to go
G D
Why why tell me my friend
D A D
It's midnight and lonesome again
SOLO
D
The moon's still alone and I wonder sometimes
A
If that why the train has to cry
D
So I ask right out loud
But there's no answer now
A D
Cause I'm just talking to the sky
D
Now the morning is time to get ready
A
In the evening you take off your shoes
D
Well you work all the day till the sun's gone away
D A D
But midnight lays claim to the blues
G D
Why why I wanna know
A D
She went and left me nowhere to go
G D
Why why tell me my friend
D A D
It's midnight and lonesome again
