Title: “Midnight Run”

Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

[Verse 1] (C – G – Am – F)
C
On a hot southern summer night
G
The wind whispers tales of a lonely sight
Am
Of hearts on fire, of wild desire
F
In the shadows of a midnight run

[Chorus] (F – G – C – Am)
F
Midnight run, where the wild things are
G
Underneath the light of a shooting star
C
We’re riding fast and we’re riding far
Am
On the wings of a midnight run

[Verse 2] (C – G – Am – F)
C
In the silence, we found our song
G
In the darkness, we found where we belong
Am
With the open road and the moon so full
F
In the tales of a midnight run

[Chorus] (F – G – C – Am)
F
Midnight run, chasing the dawn
G
In the echoes of a song that’s long gone
C
We’ll keep moving, till the break of dawn
Am
On the trails of a midnight run
