[Verse 1]
Dm Bb Gm
Lemon, see-through in the sunlight
Dm Bb Gm
She wore lemon, never in the daylight
Dm
She's gonna make you cry
Bb Gm
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
Dm Bb Gm
When you're dry she draws water from a stone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C Gm Bb
I feel like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slippin' under
C Gm Bb
I feel like I'm holding on to nothing
[Verse 2]
Dm
She wore lemon
Bb Gm
To colour in the cold grey night
Dm
She had heaven
Bb Gm
And she held on so tight
[Verse 3]
Dm
A man makes a picture
Bb Gm
A moving picture
Dm
Through the light projected
Bb Gm
He can see himself up close
Dm
A man captures colour
Bb Gm
A man likes to stare
Dm
He turns his money into light
Bb Gm
To look for her
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Gm Bb
And I feel like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
C Gm Bb
And I feel like I'm swimming out to her
[Chorus]
F C Bb
Ohhhhhh
F C Bb
Midnight is where the day begins
F C
Midnight is where the day begins
F C Dm Bb Gm
Midnight is where the day
Dm Bb Gm
Lemon, see-through in the sunlight
[Verse 3]
Dm
A man builds a city
Bb Gm
With banks and cathedrals
Dm
A man melts the sand
Bb Gm
So he can see the world outside (You're gonna meet her there)
Dm
A man makes a car (She's your destination)
Bb Gm
And builds a road to run them on (You gotta get to her)
Dm
A man dreams of leaving (She's imagination)
Bb Gm
But he always stays behind
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C Gm Bb
And these are the days when our work has come asunder
C Gm Bb
And these are the days when we look for something other
[Chorus]
F C Bb
Midnight is where the day begins
F C Bb
Midnight is where the day begins
F C Bb
Midnight is where the day begins
F C Dm Bb Gm
Midnight is where the day begins

Dm
She is the dreamer (Lemon)
Bb Gm
She's imagination (She had heaven)
Dm
Through the light projected
Bb Gm
He can see himself up close (She wore lemon)
