[G] [C] [D] [E] [G]
[C] [D] [G]
Beside [C] another [D] yellow [G] moon
[C] Punched a [D] hole in the night time, [G] yes
And [C] through your window [D] and down the [G] street
[C] And shining [D] like a new [C] dime
[D] Downtown trains are full
[C] Of [D] all those Brooklyn girls
[C] They try so hard [D] to break out of their little [G] worlds
[Em] Wave your hand [D] and they scatter like [G] crows
They [C] have nothing [D] that can capture [G] your heart
[C] They're just [D] thorns without a [G] root
Be [C] careful [D] of them in [C] the dark
[D] If I was the one
[C] You chose to [D] be your only one
[C] Baby, can't you hear [D] me?
Can't you hear me [G] now?
Will I see you [C] tonight
[D] On [G] a downtown [C] train?
[D] [G] Every [C] night is just the [Am] same
You [D] leave me lonely [G] now
I know [C] your window [D] and I know [G] it's late
I [C] know your [D] stairs and your doorway
[G] [C] Walk down your [D] street and [G] past your gate
Stand by the [E] light [D] at the doorway
[C] Watch [D] them as they fall
[C] They all [D] have heart attacks
[C] They stay at the carnival
But [D] they will never win you [G] back
Will I see [C] you tonight
[D]
[G] On a downtown [C] train?
[D]
[G] Every [C] night is just the [Am] same
You [D] leave me lonely
[G] Will I see [C] you tonight
[D]
[G] On a [C] downtown [D] train?
[G] All of my [C] tears just [Am] fall like rain
[D] All upon a downtown [G] train
