Verse 1:
       E
And it came
     A
Just like
           B
the rising sun
    E
The shame
   A
Of everything
     B
I've done
        E
And the pain
     A
Blew in just
        B
like a storm
        E
and now it 
          A
rains And will
        B
forever more


Chorus 1:
C#m      B      A
What's a boy to do?
      C#m B      A
I had nobody but you
   C#m      B
My heart is sad but
A   B(hold)      E-A-B-- x2
true In midnight blue


Verse 2:
       E
And it died
A
Out there in 
    B     E
the sun A dead rose
     A
From the ceiling 
   B            E
it hung And you cried
          A
You cried out your 
        B
fucking eyes 
           E
before you sang
         A
Me happy birthday 
         B
one last time


Chorus 2:
C#m      B       A
What's a girl to do?
      C#m B      A
I had nobody but you
     C#m      B
Your heart is sad but
A   B(hold)      E   A
true In midnight blue
         B   A
Midnight blue
         E   A
Midnight blue
         B
Midnight blue
woah oh woah

Bridge:
E
  I keep a photograph
A      B     E
  In a drawer Since
the day you left
A          B
  Me at my door
E
  And now there's 
nothing left
A            B
  Of you and me
E
  I'm a total wreck
A           B(hold)
  I'm smoldering


Chorus 3:
C#m      B      A
What's a boy to do?
      C#m B      A
I had nobody but you
   C#m      B
My heart is sad but
A   B(hold)      E   A B
true In midnight blue
         E   A B
Midnight blue
         E   A B
Midnight blue
         E   A
Midnight blue
        B
Now our hearts 
             E(hold)
are midnight blue
