        Midnight At The Movies


Capo:5th fret

Intro: C/G/F (x3)
       G
 
(Basically just C/G/F/G during the verses)
 
         C             G
Well the couple in the corner
     F           G         C        G    F    G
Been going at it all night long
    C            G
The man in the back
        F        G        C         G    F    G
Putting bets out over the phone
 
    Am          G          F
And I ain't got nowhere to be
Am           G          F
Ain't nobody waiting at home for me
G                    C          G        F
And there's nothing lonelier than
   G            C        G          F    G
Midnight at the movies, again
 
There's a girl named Martha
Who meets me here on Saturday nights
She never says too much
She just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine
She's got a gentle way
That keeps me from feeling so alone
She always shows up late
And leaves before the credits roll
 
And I never watch her leave
I just close my eyes and pretend I'm asleep
Until the second feature begins
Midnight at the movies, again
 
C/G/F (x3)
G
 
(Bridge)
 
        F          G
So it's half-price, double feature
C       C/B           Am        G
Two and quarter after seven o’clock
           F           G
And there's no smoking, no drinking
F                        G
Get your candies and your red-hots, said
F                        G
Get your candies and your red-hots
 
So shut out the lights
Tell those fools down front to take a seat
And if you see my Martha
Tell her I'm in the corner
And just wake me if I'm asleep
 
C/G/F (x3)
G
