Intro:   E    A    E  A  
I cEan't stop from thinking
That lAove makes no sense
I'm bEurned out from dreamin'
Like nAobody else
  MBidnight to daybreak
  I cG#man't believe the pAain
  The wBay you look
  The way you talk
  The wG#may you walk awAay
  (Oh, I can't tEake)
        HF#eartache by numbers
        From vC#iolet to grey
        I paEint all your colours
        I wBash them away
        I live for the moment
        I long for the day
        You walk in my garden
        You lie in my shade
Every night I run around
With every girl in town
I would rather stay at home
If you were still around
  Midnight to daybreak
  I'd do it all again
  The way you look
  The way you talk
  I'd be your lover, not your friend
  (Oh, I can't stay)
Chorus
Guitar & Keys Solos     as intro
   Midnight to daybreak
   I'd do it all again
   The way you look
   The way you talk
   I'd be your lover, not your friend
   (Oh, I can't stay)
Choral Chorus Break
Chorus Repeat ( and "Aaaah" + Sax to end)

Like nobody else

I paint all your colours

I wash them away

I live for the moment

I long for the day

You walk in my garden

You lie in my shade

Every night I run around

With every girl in town

I would rather stay at home

If you were still around

Midnight to daybreak

I'd do it all again

The way you talk

I'd be your lover, not your friend

(Oh, I can't stay)
