Verse 1: 0:10
G           C
  Outside another
    D   G
Yellow moon
G                C
  Has punched a hole
        D
In the nighttime, yes.
0:19
G                      C
  I climb through the window
     D
And down to the street.
G       C             D
  I'm shining like a new dime.
0:27
C                D
  The downtown trains are full
C                  D
  With all those Brooklyn girls.
C
   They try so hard
     D
To break out of their little worlds.

Verse 2: 0:40
G                C
  You wave your hand and they
     D         G
Scatter like crows,
G            C
  They have nothing that will ever
 D
Capture your heart.
0:49
G                C
  They're just thorns
    D
Without the rose.
G     C           D
  Be careful of them in the dark.
0:56
C           D
  Oh, if I was the one,
C                      D
  You chose to be your only one. Oh, baby,
C
  Can't you hear me now,
D
  Can't you hear me now.

  On a downtown train?
G              C
  Ev'ry night, ev'ry night

It's just the same

  On a downtown train.

Verse 3: 1:34
G              C
  I know your window
        D        G
And I know it's late.

I know your stairs
          D
And your doorway.
1:42
G                     C
  I walk down your street
     D         G
And past your gate.

I stand by the light at the four-way.
1:51
C                D
  You watch them as they fall, oh baby,
C                D
  They all have heart attacks.
       C
They stay at the carnival,
             D
But they'll never win you back.

  You leave me lonely.
