C       B* Am
Am      B* C
C       B* Am
Am      B*

[Verse 1]
C                                B* Am
Well it wasn’t all that long ago
Am                                 B* C
That I could really drink ‘em down
C                              B* Am
Three days up and runnin’ wild
Am                         B* F
And never touch the ground
F                  C
If tall dark and handsome
F             C  B* Am
Is not what I am
Am                  C    B* Am
You’ve either not noticed
Am     G             C
Or you don’t give a damn

[Verse 2]
C                                        B* Am
Well, I’ve heard it said a thousand times
Am                          B* C
"To thine own self be true"
C                                B* Am
But, it’s not for lack of tryin’
Am                               B* F
That this is something I can’t do
F              C
So, what can I tell you
F                      C    B* Am
That you don’t already know
Am                 C   B* Am
The chinks in my armour
Am    G          C
Are startin’ to show

[Chorus]
Eb             C
Oh blame it on midnight
Eb              C
Ooh shame on the moon

[Interlude]
C       B* Am
Am      B* C
C       B* Am
Am      B* F
F       C
F       C B* Am
Am      C B* Am
Am  G   C

[Verse 3]
C                          B* Am
Once inside a women’s heart
Am                      B* C
A man must keep his head
C                              B* Am
Heaven opened up the doors, hmm
Am                        B* F
Where angels fear to tread
F                 C
I was late in my twenties
F                   C  B* Am
And hungry for praise
Am                 C  B* Am
And waxin’ like crazy
Am     G               C
When I wrote down that phrase

[Chorus]
Eb             C
Oh blame it on midnight
Eb              C
Ooh shame on the moon
Eb              C
Oh blame it on midnight
Eb              C
Ooh shame on the moon

[Outro]
C       B* Am
Am      B* C
C       B* Am
Am      B* C
C       B* Am
Am      B* C
C       B* Am
Am      B* C
C                       B*     Am
Shame shame shame shame on the moon
Am       B* C
C                  B*  Am
Blame, blame, blame
Am      B* C
C       B* Am
Am      B* C
