Am
Half past twelve,
             D                              Dm
    and I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone,
           F                               Am
    how I hate to spend the evening on my own.
 
    Autumn winds 
             D                         Dm
    blowing outside the window as I look around the room, 
            F                                 Am
    and it makes me so depressed to see the phone.
F                                   Dm                            Am   E
    There's not a soul out there,     no one to hear my pr-a-y-er.
 
 Am           F       G        Am
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
  F             A                    G       Am
won't somebody help me chase these shadows away!
             F       G         Am
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight,
 F                   Am                G           Am
take me through the darkness to the break of the day !
 
    Am                     D                              Dm
1. Movie stars, find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win,
             F                                   Am
    it's so different from the world I'm living in.
                     D                       Dm
    Tired of T.V., I open the window and I gaze into the night,
                 F                               Am
    but there's nothing there to see, no one in sight.
F                                   Dm                             Am  E
    There's not a soul out there,     no one to hear my pr-a-ye-r.
