1. Twelve o‘clock, you climb
your stairs,
D
you turn the key, but no one is there,
Am
no one‘s there, it‘s cold in
bed.
D
And there‘s the phone, it‘s on
the wall,
D
and there‘s a note, but no
one‘s called,
Am
no one‘s called, ain‘t that small.
C - Dm
But I can help you, I can
understand,

I can help you to your promised land,

2. You try to sleep, but sleep won‘t come,
D
you
lie awake and toss and turn,
Am
toss
and turn, and burn, burn, burn.
D
You read a book and try some
food,
D
you have
a smoke, it ain‘t no good,
Am
it ain‘t no good, you remember.

3. No need to be here out in
your own,
D
you‘ve got my number, you‘ve got your phone,
Am
any time,
any day, and I‘ll be on my way.
D
I‘m at your window, I‘m at
your door,
D
I‘m on the ceiling, I‘m on the
floor,
Am
I‘m coming, I‘m coming ! I‘m coming, here I come !

But I can help you, I can understand,

I‘m your helping hand, your
midnight man.
