[Chorus]
D A Am B7
Burning the midnight oil again.
Em A
Sitting out here listening to the wind.
F#m G D G
I just called to tell you that I miss you my old friend,
D A D
burning the midnight oil again.
[Verse 1]
Em A D
Last year we bought a house outside of Boulder,
Em A D G
you know how Kathy always missed that Rocky Mountains sky.
Em A D
She said "let's move before my folks get any older,
Em A
so they can see the grandkids grow up for a while".
Em A D
I was just thinking of the days we ran together,
Em A D G
travellin' 'cross the country in that rusty camper van.
Em A D
Playing one night stands seems like it's been forever,
Em A
sittin' here like this sometimes I miss the band.
[Chorus]
D A Am B7
Burning the midnight oil again.
Em A
Sitting out here listening to the wind.
F#m G D G
I just called to tell you that I miss you my old friend,

burning the midnight oil again.

Em A D
Yesterday your song came on the radio,
Em A D G
you know it felt like you were singing right across the stage from me
Em A D G
and I remember how betrayed you felt when I said I had to go
Em A
but now I know that both of us landed where we're s'pposed to be.
[Chorus]

Burning the midnight oil again.

D A D
(I'm just) burning the midnight oil again.
