[G] [C]
[D] [G] [C]
[G] [C]
Outside another [G] yellow moon has [C] punched a [G] hole in the [D] night time, [G] yeah.
I climb from [C] the window [G] down to the street.
And [C] I'm shouting [D] like a new dad.
[C] Downtown [D]
trains are full [C] of [E] all those [D] Brooklyn girls.
[C] They try so hard [D] to break out of their little [G] worlds.
But you wave your [C] hand [D] and they scatter like [G] hoes.
They [C] have [G] nothing that'll [D] ever capture [G] your heart.
They're [C] just thorn [G] without the roots.
Be [C] careful of [D] them in the [C] dark.
Oh, [D] if I [G] was the one [D] [C] you chose to be your [D] only one, [C] only one.
Can't you hear me [D] now?
Can't you hear me [G] now?
Will I see you [C]
tonight [G] on a [C] downtown train?
[G] Where [C] every night is [Am] just the same.
[D]
Don't leave me [G] lonely now.
I know your window and I know it's late.
I know your stairs [D] and your doorway.
[G] I walk past [C] your street [G] and by your gate.
I [C] stand by the light [D] of the four-way.
[C] You watch [D] them all fall down.
[C] Baby, they all have heart [D]
attacks.
[C] But they stay at the call.
[D] They'll never win you back.
[G] Will I see [C] you tonight [G] on a downtown [C]
train?
[G] Where [C] every night, [Am] every night is just the [D] same. Oh, [G] baby.
Will I see [C] you tonight [G] on a [C] downtown train?
[G] All [C] of my dreams just fall [Am] like rain.
[D] Oh, baby, on a [G] downtown train.
