[Verse 1]
G              C               G
Into this pitch darkness we're hurled
     D              C          G       D
Where there's not a glimmer of light
G            C          G
It's not the end of the world
D            C              G
It's just the middle of the night
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                   C          G
And the blackest of flags is unfurled
D           C          G       D
In all this absence of light
G            C          G
It's not the end of the world good people
D          C             G
Merely the middle of the night
 
 
[Bridge]
       C                 G
The middle of the night that's what this is
C                              G         D
If death is the real test this is just a quiz
Am                                      Em
When grey creeps through your window it will be day light
C                           G          D
The end of this darkness is almost in sight
 
 
G                C            G
D                C            G         D
G                C            G
D                C            G
 
 
[Verse 3]
G              C            G
Into a ball of fear you are curled
D                     C                G             D
And you're holding on with all of your might
G                C          G
But it's not the end of the world little sister
D             C             G
It's just the middle of the night
 
[Verse 4]
G                        C            G
In the maelstrom of your mind you are swirled
D                      C             G      D
You're almost down the drain but not quite
G            C          G
It's not the end of the world my brother
D          C             G
Rather the middle of the night
 
 
[Bridge 2]
C                                 G
The middle of the night when you fear everything
C                                 G              D
But the birds will awake soon you will hear them sing
Am                            Em
You doubted you'd make it not sure you'd survive
C                      D
Now you're dead tired you're still alive
 
G                C            G
D                C            G         D
G                C            G
D                C            G
 
 
[Verse 5]
G                    C            G
Around fate's fickle finger we're twirled
D                  C         G         D
Small wonder we're all so up tight
G                C           G
But it's not the end of the world good people
D          C             G
Merely the middle of the night
G               C            G
No it's not the end of the world as we know it
D             C             G
It's just the middle of the night

Great song for 2020, thanks for the work. There is an extra D chord indicated at the end of the verses that does not belong.
