[C]
[D] [G] [C]
[G] Outside another [D] yellow [G] moon
[C] Punched a hole [D] in the night [G] time, yes
Through [C] your window [D] and down the [G] street
[C] And shining like [D] a new [C] dime
[D] Downtown trains are full
[C]
Of all [D] those Brooklyn girls
[C] And they try so hard [D] to break out of their little [G] worlds
[Em] Wave your [D] hands and they scatter like [G] crows
They [C] have nothing [D] that can capture [G] your heart
[C] They're just [D] thorns without [G] the rose
Be [C] careful of them in the dark
[D] And if I was the [C] one
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] [G] On a downtown [C] train
[D] [G]
Every [C] night is just the [Am] same
You [D] leave me lonely [G] now
I [C] know 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 [C] the light at the four way
And watch [D] them as they fall
[C]
They [D] all have holidays
[C] Stay at the corner, [D] they will never win you back
[G] Will I see you [C] tonight
[D] [G] On a [C] downtown train
[D] [G]
Every [C] night is just the [Am] same
You [D] leave me lonely
[G] Will I see you [C] tonight
[D] [G] On a downtown [D] train
[G] All of my [C] tears just fall [Am] like rain
[D] All upon a downtown [G] train
