G                        C                D                G 
Her midnight boys are outside, scraping tears up off the street. 
           Em                 Am           D           G 
Standing guard beneath the window, where only Linda sleeps. 
      Em                   C                    D         G 
The leader is a kid named Eddy, walkin like an angel in defeat. 
  Em                      Am            D 
He trashes her old man's car, slashes Linda's name in the seat, 
and he calls out 

  
  G                     C              D 
Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. 
G                       C              D 
Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. 

  
G                          C       D         G 
In an old room full of contenders,  Eddy spars 
       Em                       Am     D               G 
'Til he drops to his bed and surrenders, draped in the scarves 
          Em                  C           D                   G 
That he stole from Linda's bedroom, the night he laid at her feet. 
             Em                 Am                     D 
While the midnight boys were stranded, down on Cason street. 
and he calls out 

  

  G                     C              D 
Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. 
G                       C              D 
Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. 


          G             C     D                    G 
In the basement of St Mary's, Eddy hides from the rain. 
Em                   Am                  D              G 
In with the stolen sisters, until the streets are dry again. 
 Em                    C 
Talkin fast cars and spare parts 
D                 G 
Empty homes and broken hearts. 
  Em                  Am                 D 
Distant worlds and strange girls, and kneeling with Linda in the dark. 
  

  G                     C              D 
Linda let me be the one.  Linda let me be the one. 
G                             C            D 
Linda let me be the one no no noooo oh ho whoa whoa whoa whoa
