Capo 3
Bm[Intro]
BmYou set the snakes loose inside my belly
They're done with my supper, they start on my endocrine Emlining
You said "Please stop your whining"F#  
BmThis isn't a love song I'm through writing those for you
All the while you claimed the ghost in you Emlives
But it's dead, It's inside my head
And F#all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't Bmcalled
BmOh when you sigh
And you cry I figure you probably Emlie
And I'm here Bmwaiting
And Bmall I can see
If there's anyone fooled then it's probably Emme
And I'm here Bmwaiting
And F#all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't Bmcalled
F#All that I see is that it's midnight and you haven't Bmcalled
F#All that I know is I'm left with frustration
And this hyperactive imagination of Bmmine
AmI would Emlove to Clay all my faith in you
AmWhy can't EmI let Cfate have it's way with me?
AmI would Emlove to
But it's F#over, it's over, it's over, it's overBm  Em  F#  
You Bmsay you're at mother's but do you mean lovers?
Are you in the amorous arms of another?

Your Bmgirlfriend concurs with you, is she your alibi?
How did you get that sweet little girl to lie?
EmMeanwhile I'm here Bmwaiting

F#All that I see is that it's midnight and you haven't Bmcalled.

Capo 3

[Intro]

You set the snakes loose inside my belly

They're done with my supper, they start on my endocrine lining

You said "Please stop your whining"

This isn't a love song I'm through writing those for you

All the while you claimed the ghost in you lives

But it's dead, It's inside my head

F# Bm

And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called

Oh when you sigh

And you cry I figure you probably lie

And I'm here waiting

And all I can see

If there's anyone fooled then it's probably me

And I'm here waiting

F# Bm

And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called

F# Bm

All that I see is that it's midnight and you haven't called

All that I know is I'm left with frustration

And this hyperactive imagination of mine

Am Em C

I would love to lay all my faith in you

Am Em C

Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?

Am Em

I would love to

F# Bm Em F#

But it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over

You say you're at mother's but do you mean lovers?

Are you in the amorous arms of another?

Em F#

It chills every bone in me, straight to the core of me

Your girlfriend concurs with you, is she your alibi?

How did you get that sweet little girl to lie?

Em Bm

Meanwhile I'm here waiting

F# Bm

And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called

F# Bm

All that I see is that it's midnight and you haven't called.

All that I know is I'm left with frustration

And this hyperactive imagination of mine

Am Em C

I would love to place all my faith in you

Am Em C

Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?

Am Em C

I would love to place all my trust in you

Am Em

Why can't I?

F# Bm Em F#

'Cause it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over again

This isn't a love song, I'm through writing those for you

All the while you claimed that the ghost in you lives

But it's dead and it's inside my head

F# Bm

And all that I know is it's midnight and you haven't called
