verse 1 
C                   G 
True romance in the dead of the night 
    F                     G 
The breeze in the air, it almost glistens 
Am                 G 
And the earth is a glorious sight 
     F                 G 
When nobody speaks and nobody listens 


Pre-Chorus 
F                   G 
You're gonna have a night to remember 
F                 Dm    Em    F      G 
You're gonna be a real, live, hot contender 



C    G              F 
Sleeptalking in the dead of the night 
C    G             Am 
Cold coffee in the china 
C       G              F 
Friends talking in the dead of the night 
C    G         F 
Promises, it's always the way 
C    G         F 
Promises, it's always the way

verse 2 
C                  G 
Running off by the light of the moon 
    F                     G 
The hand on your heart is almost hidden 
Am                G 
You try from your favourite room 
   F                    G 
To get at the truth but it's forbidden 


Pre-Chorus 
F                   G 
You've never been a shoulder to cry on 
F                     Dm  Em F    G 
The lover's pledge is not to be relied on 



C    G              F 
Sleeptalking in the dead of the night 
C    G             Am 
Cold coffee in the china 
C       G              F 
Friends talking in the dead of the night 
C    G         F 
Promises, it's always the way 
C    G    N.C. 
Promises, it's always the way

verse 3 
C                G 
Old friends in a sepia frame 
    F                     G 
The proud photograph, the truth it measures 
Am          G 
Is why in humanity's name 
    F                     G 
You take from the wounded personal treasures 


Pre-Chorus 
F                   G 
You've never been a friend to depend on 
F                 Dm    Em F       G 
You've never understood my view of heaven

Am                 G 
And the earth is a glorious sight 
     F                 G 
When nobody speaks and nobody listens 


Pre-Chorus

You're gonna have a night to remember
