[G] You met [D] her there [C] on the New York [Em] City side.
[G] You were throwing [E]
up on your [Am] shoes.
Trying to write the great book.
Well, it really had [Bm] you shook.
With a bad [A] case of wintertime blues.
[Am] So [G] you drank [D] her down [G] to the [Em] ragged side town.
You [G] shared a taxi to carry her home.
And she left her handkerchief [C] there [Em] beside you on the seat.
As [G] if to emphasize that you were [Am] all alone.

Double [Em] whiskey glass.
[G] But you'll never [D]
erase [E] her smile.
And you'll never write it down.

With phantom dreams and [Am] fingernail files.
