[Intro]
C
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Em
Night, midnight, lose my mind
D
Night, midnight, lose my mind
D
Night, midnight
[Verse 1]
C Em D
Oh God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs, it's all gone
D C
Played it so nonchalant, it's time we danced with the truth
Em D D
Move along with the truth, ooh-ooh (hey)
C Em D
We're sleeping through all the days, I'm acting like I don't see
D C
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
D
Will you sway with me, go astray with me?
[Chorus 1]
C
(Ah-ha-ah) King and queen of the weekend
Em D
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
When you dream with a fever
Em D
Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
These are the games of the weekend
Em D
We pretend that we just don't care, but we care (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
Ah, when you dream with a fever
Em D
Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
[Verse 2]
C Em
Oh God, I'm closing my teeth, around this liquor wet
D D C
Limelight, lose my mind, I know you're feeling it too
Em D D
Can we keep up with the ruse, ah-ah-ah (hey)
C Em D
B-bodies all through my house, I know this story by heart
C
N.C.
Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive when they get dark
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
D
Will you sway with me, go astray with me?
[Chorus 2]
C
(Ah-ha-ah) King and queen of the weekend
Em D
Ain't a pill that could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
When you dream with a fever
Em D
Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C

C

Em D

[Bridge]
C
Midnight, we're fading
Em
'Til daylight, we're jaded
D D
We know that it's over, in the morning
C
You'll be dancing with all the heartache
Em
And the treason, the fantasies of leaving
D D
But we know that when it's over, in the morning
C Em
You'll be dancing with us, oh
D
Dancing with us, oh (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C Em
You'll be dancing with us (can you feel it, can you feel it)
D
Dancing with us, us (but what will we do when we're sober?)
[Outro]

Night, midnight, lose my mind
