               Bm       A         F#m
Feels like we danced into a nightmare
E             Bm      A       E
We're living nineteen eighty-four
           Bm        A      F#m
If doublethink's no longer fiction
E               Bm      A        E
We'll dream of Huxley's Island shores

 Bm     A        F#m     E
Waking life, it lets us down
     Bm       A               E
So close your eyes and melt away

Chorus:
                      Bm
In the middle of the night
        A
I can dream away
F#m            E           Bm          A       E
Change what I like and go back to the future again
                      Bm
In the middle of the night
         A
Gonna scream your name
F#m           E            Bm          A       E
Bring you to life then go back to the future again

                      Bm  A F#m E
In the middle of the night
 Bm A
Ahoo
  E
Ahoo

Now that reality's distorted
Can we just Blade Run-Run away
Back into some imagined future
Let's tap our heels three times and pray

Uh, waking life, it lets us down
So close your eyes and melt away

Chorus

In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo
In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo

Bm  A      F#m E
Hey, uh, uh
Bm           A
Uh, take me back to the future
F#m          E
Uh, take me back to the future
Bm           A
Uh, take me back to the future
E
Uh, take me back to the future
Bm           A
Uh, take me back to the future
F#m          E
Uh, take me back to the future

In the middle of the night
Can I dream away?
Bring you to life then go back to the future again
In the middle of the night (Ahoo)
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night, ahoo
Ahoo
