Grew Up At Midnight

Key: CMedium

Outside of the wiCndow

I was sticking with Fyou

We were only Ckids then

We'd get soFaked right through

Sheltered in our Cown worlds

We'd watch the Frain right through

Dmooh-ooh-ooh

We grew up at mCidnighFt

We were only kCids thFen

DmLoving woman loving man

Here for you doing the best weC can

DmHard to figure hard to bare

Hard to think knowing how much you Ccare

It's the Dmstrangest thing through thick and thin

All this time kept the promise you mCade

DmIf you're telling I'll be told

I'll come running and be there as soon as I cCan

Outside of the wiCndow

I was sticking with Fyou

We were only Ckids then

We'd get soFaked right through

We used to Ctell them

I was staying at Fyours

Sheltered in our Cown worlds

We'd watch the Frain right through

Slowly One

Key: AMedium

F#m

No capo

A really simple acoustic version made from the orignial song. The tabbed parts are

probably played with some reverb on the electric guitar or something, but i just thought it

could be fun to tab it out while I was at it.

(This is played during the whole song basically)

In every quiet Cmoment

In every little Bmsilence

Every small reCminder where you Bmfind her

With every left Clight on

Let Bmalone

Every little Cloving word

Said out of Bmlove

Going Acold

CLittle by little by little by little by Bmlittle by little by little by little

CI'm, laid Bmdown (x2)

(Played by a second guitar during the Chorus)

I can go Cwherever

Still the Bmsame

Every small reCminder of a Bmname

Any half Cmeasures

Any Bmpleasures

Every new enCcounter that's Bmnot her

Leaves you Acold

CLittle by little by little by little by Bmlittle by little by little by little

CI'm, laid Bmdown (x2)

(Played by a second guitar during the Chorus)

CSome day you're going to wake up

And think you went a day Bmwithout (x2)

Going Acold

Intstrumental part:

CBm

(This is played during the Instrumental part together with the tab from the Chorus)

There is also a guitar playing these chords (a bit "heavier") during the Instrumental

part. Play them as power chords:

About Your Dress

Key: GEasy

GI noticed you C

You stood outG like a sore thumb

The most beaCutiful sore thumb I'd ever seen G

I took you out C

And showed you a good time

GAnd I waited till the time was right when

CI was almost sick on you

GDo you recall

CThe night that we met

GAnd how I burnt your dress C

With my cigarette G

I don't know why C

But I played this game Gfor you

CI'm guessing it's just what all young lovers do

I'm guessing it's just what all young lovers do..

Git's what all young lovers do

Cit's what all young lovers do
