| Midnight, and I’m a-waiting on the 12:05 |
| C |
| Hoping it’ll take me just a little farther down the | line |

| Moonlight, you’re just a heartache in disguise |
Won’t you keep my heart from breaking

| Honey, you know it makes you mad |
| C |
| Why is everybody telling everybody what you have | done |

| And | baby, I know it makes you sad |
But when they’re handing out the heartaches

| Lovers, I know you’ve had a few |
But how you hide your heart beneath the covers
| C |
| And you tell ‘em they’re the only | one |
| G |
| And | others they know just what I’m going through |
And it’s so hard to be your lover
| C |
| When you say you only do it for | fun |
