Meet me in the middle of the day
             Em
Let me hear you say
         G
Everything’s okay
C                                                        D
Bring me southern kisses from your room.

Meet me in the middle of the night
             Em
Let me hear you say
          G
Everything’s alright.

Let me smell the moon in your perfume.

[Chorus 1]
        C                            G                                    Am                         D
Oh, gods and years will rise and fall and there’s always something more
C                    G                                 Am                      D
Lost in talk, I waste my time, and it’s all been said before.
           C                      G                        Am                        D
While further down behind the masquerade, the tears are there.
C                     G                              Am                      D
I don’t ask for all that much – I just want someone to ca-a-a-are! That’s right, now!

[Verse]

Meet me in the middle of the day
             Em
Let me hear you say

Everything’s okay

Come on out beneath the shining sun.

Meet me in the middle of the night
            Em
Let me hear you say
         G
Everything’s alright

Sneak on out beneath the stars and run!

[Chorus 2]
       C                                   G                                 Am                 D
It’s king and queen and we must go down, now, beyond the chandelier
          C                      G                             Am                         D
Where I won’t have to speak my mind and you won’t have to hear
C                              G                            Am               D
Shreds of news and after thoughts and complicated scenes.
           C                      G                          Am                 D
We’ll weather down behind the light and fade like magazines!

Ah-yaya-yay! I to go now!

Bring me southern kisses from your room. Hey, hey!
