_ _ [C] Outside another [D] yellow moon There's [C] a bunch to [D] haul in the nighttime
_ I [C] climb through the window and [G] down to the street
[C] I'm shining [D] like a new [C] dime _ The [D] downtown trains are [Cm] full
_ With all [D] those Brooklyn girls [C]
They try so hard [D] to break out of their little
[G]
worlds You [C] wave your [D] hand and they [G] scatter like
crows [C] They have nothing [D] that will ever [G] capture
your heart [C] They're just [D] thorns without [G] their woes
_ [C] Oh, be careful [D] of them in the [C]
dark _ [D] If I wasn't one, [C] _
you chose to [D] be your only
one [C] _
Oh baby [D] now, can't you hear me [G]
now?
Will I see [C] you tonight _ _ [G]
on a downtown [C] _ train?
_ [G] _
Where every [C] night is [Am] just the same _ [D] You leave me [G] lonely now
[D] I know [C] your window [D] and I know [G] it's late I [C] know your [D] stairs and your [G] doorbell
I walk [C] down your street [D] and [G] past your gate I [C] stand by the [D] light at the four [C] way
_ You [Dm] watch them as they fall [C] _
_ Oh, they [D] all have heart attacks
[Em]
They stay at the car, [D] but they'll never win you [G] back
Will I see [C] you tonight _ [G] on a downtown [C] train?
_ _ [G] _
Where every [C] night, every night [Am] is just the same
You [D] _ leave me [G] lonely Will I see you tonight _ on a downtown [C] train?
