[Verse 1]
Dm C
I stumbled from the bar just after midnight
G Dm
That's when I saw her waiting all alone
Dm C
I thought at first she somehow looked familiar
G Dm
But her hollow eyes were cold and hard as stone
Dm Am
An old buried memory came to me
Bb Dm
Of another midnight long ago
Dm C
And it seemed as if the stranger saw right through me
G Dm
So I quickly said goodnight and turned to go
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Drinking deep from the bottle in my jacket
G Dm
I turned into an alley off the street
Dm C
I feared that she would follow but saw no one
G Dm
I heard nothing but the scuffling of my feet
Dm Am
Then a hand grabbed me by the shoulder
Bb Dm
And fear was a needle in my vein
Dm C
I saw her hollow eyes lean in closer
G Dm
Felt her breath as she was whisperin' my name
[Chorus]
Bb F C Dm
Lies like shadows in the moonlight
Bb F C
Hide from the coming of the sun
C C# Dm Bb
Memories come alive at midnight
Bb Am G F Dm
And a haunted heart is always on the run
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Dm C
She hissed at me, My name is Sarah Baker
G Dm
I knew you when we both were seventeen
Dm C
I was not pretty like my younger sister
G Dm
With her golden hair and laughin' eyes of green
Dm Am
You took from her a love she did not offer
Bb Dm
And shamed her into silence at the dawn
Dm C
She lies awake when your memory haunts her
G Dm
And I've waited all these years to right the wrong
[Chorus]
Bb F C Dm
Lies like shadows in the moonlight
Bb F C
Hide from the coming of the sun
C C# Dm Bb
Memories come alive at midnight
Bb Am G F Dm
And a haunted heart is always on the run
[Solo]

[Verse 4]
Dm C
She drew a blade as I stumbled backwards
G Dm
I could not see her clearly through my tears
Dm C
I knew that I finally met the judgement
G Dm
I'd somehow been expecting all these years
Dm Am
I felt the blade deep beneath my ribcage
Bb Dm
The blood flowing freely as I moaned
Dm C
Then I awoke to find it was only whiskey
G Dm
And I'd been dreaming in an alley all alone
[Chorus]
Bb F C Dm
Lies like shadows in the moonlight
Bb F C
Hide from the coming of the sun
C C# Dm Bb
Memories come alive at midnight
Bb Am G F Dm
And a haunted heart is always on the run
