Intro: E5  A5  E5  A5

   E5
I can't stop from thinking
      A5
That love makes no sense
     E5
I'm burned out from dreamin'
      A5
Like nobody else

   B5
  Midnight to daybreak
     Ab5               A5
  I can't believe the pain
       B5
  The way you look
  The way you talk
       Ab5           A5
  The way you walk away
                E5
  (Oh, I can't take)

         F#5
        Heartache by numbers
              C#5
        From violet to grey
            E5
        I paint all your colours
           B5
        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 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)
