INTRO 
Bm A G x2 
 
Bm A G 
Midnight's calling, are you close behind? 
Bm A G 
Midnight's calling, are you close behind?  
Em A 
Trees without leaves and notes that don't ring 
Em A 
Wine left to rot and a voice that can't sing 
D D/C# Bm* A 
And hours of making love in sadness 
D D/C# Bm* A 
And a light that just won't shine in the darkness 
D D/C# Bm* A 
Could I be any clearer? 
D D/C# Bm* A 
Could I speak any plainer, I need you here! 
G A 
Just to lean my way 
D D/C# Bm* A x2 
And fall, fall, fall  
 
 
(Bm A G) same as above 
 
She'd scolded me for my sinful and wicked ways 
Towered above me, do you follow? 
And watched with concealed pleasures 
I've ripped out my heart and said  
I'm just bad, I can't help it 
But I tr-tr-t-try to be good  
 
(Em A x2, D D/C# Bm* A x4, G A, D D/C# Bm* A x4) same as above 
 
Trees without leaves and notes that don't ring 
Wine left to rot and a voice that can't sing 
And hours of making love in sadness 
And a light that just won't shine in the darkness 
Could I be any clearer? 
Could I speak any plainer, I need you here! 
Just to lean my way 
And fall, fall, fall  
G A 
Because people make you lonely 
People make you lonely sometimes
