[Intro]
|G D|D|Em C|C| x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
          G        D
When the sun went down, all the storefronts shut
              Em        C
They roll the sidewalks up around here
          G            D
It's just kids and the cops out after 7 o'clock
              Em          C
So you better had already bought your beer
             G          D
You cut your headlights off trying to not get caught
              Em         C
She's out the window and across the yard
          G          D
She slid it into the seat, slow rolled it down the street
         Em             C
'Til you parked it and the stereo starts
 C
And they say
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G                        C
Nothing good ever happens after midnight
 Em                         D
Well maybe midnight's just misunderstood
 G                              C
Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight
Em                      D
Why did it always feel so damn good?
    G       D
Wrapped up so tight with me, no light
           Em       C
All night, it was alright, alright
 
 
[Verse 2]
           G      D
You go as fast as you can, go as far as you want
            Em      C
With nobody out to slow you down
         G             D
She was your rearview queen, you were her ghost street king
      Em               C
While everybody was asleep in the town
     G          D
You watch the red lights blink 'til the horizon's pink
               Em            C
All while her daddy thinks she's still in her bed
                G          D
But when you're young and dumb, the only rule of thumb
            Em          C
Was do the opposite of everything they said
  C
And they said
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G                   C
Nothing good ever happens after midnight
 Em                         D
Well maybe midnight's just misunderstood
 G                          C
Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight
Em                      D
Why did it always feel so damn good?
G          D
Wrapped up so tight, your own paradise
        Em         C
And the dashboard lights, alright, alright
 
 
[Solo]
|G D|D|Em C|C|
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G                        C
They say nothing good ever happens after midnight
 Em                         D
Well maybe midnight's just misunderstood
 G                              C
Cause if nothing good ever happens after midnight
Em                      D
Why did it always feel so damn good?
    G       D
Wrapped up so tight with me, no light
           Em       C
All night, it was alright, alright
 
 
|G D|D|Em C|C|  x4
End on G
