Half past twelve
Gm
And I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone
Dm
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Gm
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
Dm
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
Bb
There’s not a soul out there

No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight

Movie stars
Gm
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win

It’s so different from the world I’m living in
Tired of T.V.

I open the window and I gaze into the night
Dm
But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight

There’s not a soul out there

No one to hear my prayer
