[Am] It's four in the morning, [F] the end of December [D] I'm [Dm] writing you now [E] just to see [Em] if you're
better [Am] New York is cold [F] but I like where I'm living
[D] The [Dm] music on Clinton [E] Street all [Em] through the evening
[A] [Am] I hear that [Bm] you're building your [Am] little house deep [Bm] in the desert
