Porter Wagoner - Burning the Midnight Oil

      
 
                 C                G7 
 Here we sit looking at each other
 
                                   C  
 Seems we're at a loss for what to say
 
                                F   
 Ties bind us both with someone else
 
          C                G7            C   
 We don't want to hurt but we must break away
 
     G7                      C       
 And tonight I'll sit home a thinking
 
     G7                      C       
 And tonight I'll sit home a drinking
 
                                      F                     
 We both live in separate homes where there's no love at all
 
            C            G7           C  
 Staying up late burning the midnight oil
 
                                      G7   
 Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same place
 
                                        C   
 Where love and desires that just won't wait
 
                                       F           
 In each others arms we'll dream for a little while
 
                C                   G7              C   
 Then when it's time to leave it'll nearly drive us wild
 
     G7                      C       
 And tonight I'll sit home a thinking
 
     G7                      C       
 And tonight I'll sit home a drinking
 
                                      F                     
 We both live in separate homes where there's no love at all
 
            C            G7           C  
 Staying up late burning the midnight oil
