Verse 1: 0:10
G           C
  Outside another
    Dsus4 G
Yellow   moon
G/B              C
  Has punched a hole
        Dsus4
In the nighttime, yes.
0:19
G                      C
  I climb through the window
     Dsus4
And down to the street.

  I'm shining like a new dime.
0:27
C                Dsus4     D
  The downtown trains are full
C                  Dsus4
  With all those Brooklyn girls.

   They try so hard
     D/F#
To break out of their little worlds.

Verse 2: 0:40
G                C
  You wave your hand and they
     Dsus4     G
Scatter like crows,
G/B          C
  They have nothing that will ever
 Dsus4
Capture your heart.
0:49
G                C
  They're just thorns
    Dsus4
Without the rose.
G     C           Dsus4
  Be careful of them in the dark.
0:56
C           Dsus4      D
  Oh, if I was the one,
C                      D

  Can't you hear me now,

  Can't you hear me now.

It's just the same

  On a downtown train.

I know your stairs

I stand by the light at the four-way.

  You watch them as they fall, oh baby,
C                Dsus4        D

They stay at the carnival,

But they'll never win you back.
