Burning The Midnight Oil Chords & Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

[C]Here we sit looking at each [G7]other

Seems we're at a loss for what to [C]say

Ties bind us both with someone [F]else

We don't [C]want to hurt but [G7]we must break [C]away

And [G7]tonight I'll sit home a [C]thinking

And [G7]tonight I'll sit home a [C]drinking

We both live in separate homes where [F]there's no love at all

Staying up [C]late burning [G7]the midnight [C]oil

Tomorrow we'll meet here in the same [G7]place

Where love and desires that just won't [C]wait

In each others arms we'll dream for a [F]little while

Then when it's [C]time to leave it'll [G7]nearly drive us [C]wild

And [G7]tonight I'll sit home a [C]thinking

And [G7]tonight I'll sit home a [C]drinking

We both live in separate homes where [F]there's no love at all

Staying up [C]late burning [G7]the midnight [C]oil
