Song
INTRO
F Am F C (2x)
VERSE 1
The kids round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove
Gothic girls all dressed in black
Serious as heart attacks
It takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whisky stains
Lost the night, forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
And it ain't hard to understand
Why she's holding onto her own hand
CHORUS 1
It's midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior
(shalalala, shalala)
They're too busy ... saving me
(shalalala, shalala)
VERSE 2
I've seen a lone sloane ranger drive
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to the Sun
And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
Chase their shadows in the dark
Someone's getting off tonight
A big red bus that's packed so tight
disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's alright
CHORUS 2
It's midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior
(shalalala, shalala)
They're too busy saving me
(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
No one's pinned their dreams on me, No one's asking me to bleed
(shalalala, shalala)
I'm the man I wanna be, when Chelsea girls sing
INTERLUDE
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh
BRIDGE
It's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on
A baby's born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye
I leave my soul and just move on
And wish that I was there to sing this song
SOLO
(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
CHORUS 3
It's midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors, no one's looking for a savior
(shalalala, shalala)
They're too busy saving me
(shalalala, shalala)
It's midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
Oh oh oh-oh oh
(shalalala, shalala)
No one's pinned their dreams on me, no one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
The man I wanna be
OUTRO
The man I wanna be
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea
(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
// (fade out, end on F)
