Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  get up early in the morning
 It's up and out with the sun
 Spending my days making natural  highs
 And in the evening  when my work is done
 I make a phone call from the hotel
 Speak to my woman each day
 I tell my lady that I'm missing  her
 And I hope  she feels the same
 At least  she knows that I'm not
 Sharing out our love
 With the midnight drug
 You spend your day in an in-joke
 Pouring your life in a glass of ice
 And no one's laughing but the monkey  in you
 Paranoia  for the highest price
 You make a phone call from the hotel
 Spending your life in the night
 The kind of women who don't come  for free
 But then I guess  they know you'll pay the price
 If they can keep  you up
 They know you've got what turns them on
 The midnight drug
How  many times must we tell you
Just  how much we care
You  must know how we love you
But  we can't even meet half-way
Well  I've got something to tell  you
 If you can only take it in
I  think you're worthy of a better  cause
 If you can just  stop looking for
 What you never get enough of
 The midnight drug
 Your kind of sugar is a sweet  club
 I like my sugar in tea
 You spend your life going faster
 There's no surviving  when you crash at speed
Now,  I'm not saying that I'm wrong  or right
But  that the truth is plain to see
 I get my kicks from my friends and their love
 It's the kind  of love that comes for free
 They're the kind  of friends
 That you don't find when you go looking for
 They only pick you up then let you fall
 'Till you come back for more
 Of the midnight drug
