[A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[E] Snow in a solar city [B] [A] covers up the cracks in the [C#] road
[C#m] As a wee stroke buys her [B] cigarettes [A] and wipes her pretty [C#m] [A] nose
[E] Like a part-time Elvis [B] imitated [A] These streets I knew so [B] well
Have [C#m] been feasted beyond [E] recognition [A] with a temporary spell
[C#] [G#m] Now the midnight train eases out [B] leaving everyone [A] maroon
And without her it might as well be the surface [C#m] of
So
[A] [D#] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[G#m] [E] from the well-swept streets of Jackson [B] Heights [A] to the dark side of [E] Drudgery
[B] [C#m] Everything's now a [B] replica [E] [A] of what it used to [E] be
But since they dotted up the trenches [A] and painted the bridge it [C#m] blue
It seems less like a home to me than [A] just a place they pay [C#m] you
Now [G#m] we're lit up like a cathedral in [B] our frozen [A] concrete room
Without [G#m]
[C#m] her it might as well be the surface of
[A] [E] So [F#m] I need her and [G#m] my lover that [C#m] is true
But [F#m] I'm stuck here like some [G#m] shipwreck still [C#m] holding on to you
[A] When they beat out the trams and patch up the slums
[B] Everything will [C#m] be fine
There'll [G#m] be a new facade [G#] for us to find
[C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] So [C#m]
[G#m] [E] I'm in ancient trails of our couple and the faces we used [C#m] to meet
I am amazed by the lack of [B] memories that [A] I thought would flood through me
[E] And the river Tyne where we first kissed is [A] now being reduced
To [C#m] a phony old world market where [A] only shoplifts get used
Now [G#m] your arms embrace me strangely in [B] your unfamiliar [A] room
And [C#m] for all I care [A] it might as well be the surface of [C#m] the moon
Yeah for all I care it [A] might as well be the [E] surface [C#m] of the moon
