Intro - Em9
Em9 A4 /B
She stood by the window and let down her hair
C C/B A4 A
Asked if I knew that I shouldn't be there
Em9 A4 /B
Her lips said goodbye but her body said stay
C C/B A4 A
I knew I should go but I stayed anyway
G G/F# Em7
And they called her child of midnight
C
And they say she'd love
Dsus2
Whomever she'd find
G G/F# Em7
But when morning came I loved her
C Dsus2
And she stayed there in my mind
Em9 A4 /B
She stood by the window and let down her hair
C C/B A4 A
Asked if I thought that it was right
Em9 A4 /B
That she give her body and I give my mind
C C/B A
I looked for an answer all the night
G G/F# Em7
And they called her child of midnight
C
And they say she'd love
Dsus2
Whomever she'd find
G G/F# Em7
But when morning came I loved her
C Dsus2
And she stayed there in my mind
Em9 A4 /B
She stood by the window and tied up her hair
C C/B A4 A
Acted as if I had never been there
Em9 A4 /B
Her lips said goodbye but her body said stay
C C/B A4 A
I knew I should go but I stayed anyway
G G/F# Em7
And they called her child of midnight
C
And they say she'd love
Dsus2
Whomever she'd find
G G/F# Em7
But when morning came I loved her
C Dsus2
And she stayed there in my mind
Em9 - 022002
A4 - *02230
Dsus2 - **0230
C/B - 020010
