A7  D   Em7 D   A7    D          Em7 D
Whatever it is, it'll keep till the morning. 

Em7     A7  D       D6      D7   D7/F# G   Em7    G/B   D
Haven't we both got better things to  do?  Mid - night blue.

F#m         F#m7    G      G/F#   Em
Even though simple things become rough, 

 Bm       Bm7/E  A7
Haven't we had enough?

      G        Em7  D       DM7      F#m         Bm  Bm7/E
And I think we can make it one more time, if we try. 

G   A7   D        Bm7     A7  G/B  A7  D
One more time for all the old        times.


A7  D   Em7 D    A7    D          Em7  D
For all the times you told me you need me, 

Em7     A7  D      D6      D7  G/F#  G   Em7    G/B   D
Needing me now is something I could use. Mid - night blue.

F#m          F#m7      G      G/F#  Em
Wouldn't you give your hand to a  friend? 

Bm        Bm7/E    A7
Maybe it's not the end.  

      G        Em7  D      DM7      F#m         Bm  Bm7/E
And I think we can make it one more time, if we try. 

G   A7   D        Bm7          A7   G  Em7      D
One more time for all the old times.  Midnight blue. 

   G            Em7         D
I think we can make it, I think we can make it. 

F#m          F#m7      G      G/F#  Em
Wouldn't you give your hand to a  friend? 

Bm         Bm7/E     A7
Think of me as your friend,

       G       Em7  D      DM7      F#m         Bm  Bm7/E
And I think we can make it one more time, if we try. 

G   A7   D        Bm7     A7   D
One more time for all the old times.



The inclusion of the song ignores a couple of my usual rules for what songs wind up here. First, it's a little on the new-ish side, and second, I know there are other tab versions out there on the 'net. Sorry. I just always loved the song.
