Poor Lady Midnight Baby

verse 1 
  A               D      A                     D 
I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me, 
    A                  D              Bm               E 
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free, 
    A                 D          A                      D 
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door, 
    Bm                E             A   D   A   D 
And left me wondering what I was in for. 


verse 2 
       A                D             A                D 
By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name 
       A              D                Bm              E 
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same, 
     A               D           A             D 
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away, 
            Bm         E                  A 
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby, 
       C#m                E 
No one wants your love at all, 
        F#m            A 
Oh poor lady, midnight baby, 
           C#m           E 
Now you're heading for a fall, 
        D                   
And you really think your're something, 
         A                 E 
you know all the things to do 
         F#m          D 
But poor lady, just a baby, 
          E                 A   D   A   D 
There's a hundred more like you. 


verse 3 
        A                      D 
Now for two weeks more she was at my door, 
          A                D 
She would stay with me for days, 
     A             D                 Bm             E 
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways, 
            A             D              A         D 
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd, 
         Bm                E           A 
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.

And you really think your're something,

verse 4 
    A                  D                     A            D 
She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip, 
       A                        D                   Bm             E 
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip, 
         A              D                    A                 D 
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell, 
         Bm                 E             A 
It's the one thing that she really can do well.
