A Drink After Midnight

I'm trying to keep busy
 Since you left me all alone
 I go to work, I see my friends
 I get by on my own
 But no matter what I do by day, no matter where I've been
 When I turn out the lights at night
 The ghosts comes creeping in
 Chours
 A drink after mid-night
 Keeps the nightmares away
 A drink after mid-night
 Holds the thoughts of you at bay
 So I fix myself a tall one
 Right before I go to bed
 A drink after mid-night keeps you out of my head
 And every night I lay me down
 On my side of the bed
 The chill from the empty side is filling me with dread
 I can't stand another night of thinking about you
 A drink by the bedside what I need to pull me through
 Chours
 A drink after mid-night
 Keeps the nightmares away
 A drink after mid-night
 Holds the thoughts of you at bay
 So I fix myself a tall one
 Right before I go to bed
 A drink after mid-night keeps you out of my head
