[Intro]
Cm  Cm7  Cm  Cm7  Cm  Cm7  Cm  Cm7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Cm          Gm      Bb        F
Deep in the bayou en-route to L.A.
Ab         Eb      Ab       F  Bb Cm   Cm7  Cm  Cm7
The merchandise is changing si....des
Cm         Gm         Bb          F
People are hiding and waiting all day
   Ab               Cm
'Til midnight comes around
    Ab                  Cm
That's when it's coming down
       Bb
And the dreams of a boy
        F                Ab           Cm Ab  Cm  Cm7  Cm  Cm7  Cm
And his shortcut to easy street will die
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cm          Gm          Bb         F
Back in the city, she's biting her nails
Ab        Eb         Ab           F Bb Cm  Cm7  Cm  Cm7
Taking it hard, he's doing it for he....r
Cm         Gm      Bb           F
She didn't ask and all he would say
Ab                  Cm
It's what he had to do
   Ab                   Cm
To make her dreams come true
 Bb                              F
But a whisper went 'round on the dark side of town
   Ab             Cm
And anything that could go wrong
   Ab                Cm G
Is going wrong right now
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm    Ab         Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab       Eb            Ab         Bb
Only the brave and the fools are around

Midnight when it all comes down

Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now

[Verse 3]
Cm               Gm        Bb       F
Touchdown on the water and into the trees
Ab           Eb       Ab         Fm  Bb Cm   Cm7  Cm  Cm7
He's come so far and this is the ea..sy part
Cm         Gm         Bb            F
Just gotta follow the flashlight he sees
Ab                       Cm
And that's where he gets paid
Ab                  Cm
His fortune will be made
   Bb
But a house in the country
       F
And an acre of green
    Ab           Cm
Will always be a dream
    Ab                   Cm G
They never even knew his name
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm    Ab         Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab       Eb            Ab        Fm Bb
Only the brave and the fools are around
Cm    Ab         Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab          Eb        Ab            Fm   Bb  Cm  F  Gm  Bb
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him now
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm    Ab         Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab       Eb            Ab         Bb
Only the brave and the fools are around
Cm    Ab         Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab          Eb        Ab            Fm   Bb
Poor little fool, his bravery won't help him
 
 
[Outro]

Cm   Ab          Bb        Cm    Ab  Eb  Ab  Fm  Bb
Midnight when it all comes down
Cm   Ab          Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab       Eb            Ab        Bb
Only the brave and the fools are around
Cm   Ab          Bb        Gm
Midnight when it all comes down
Ab          Eb
Poor little fool
