E                                                       
    Snow in a soulless city 
B - A                                                       
       Covers up the tracks in the road 
B         C#m7                                                 
    As a       wastrel buys her cigarettes 
B        Amaj7                                                  
    And       wipes her pretty nose 
B           E                          B                       
    Like a      part-time Elvis imi -     tator 
       A                                                 
These    streets I knew so well 
B              C#m7                        B                      
    Have been       pasted beyond recog -     nition 
        Amaj7                                                
With a      temporary smell 


B            G#m                                              
    Now the      midnight train eases out 
          B               Amaj7 /                               
Leaving     everyone ma -        rooned 
     C#m7                                                   
And       without her 
    A                                                    
It     might as well be the 
                C#m7        Amaj7                                 
surface of the        moon

C#m7 - G#m - E  


             E                                           
So from the     well-swept streets of Jackson Heights 
B           A                                               
    To the     dockside drudgery 
B - C#m7                                                       
          Everything is now a replica 
B        A                                                   
    Of     what it used to be 
B                   E                                       
    But since they     tarted up the trenches 
B        A                                                  
    And     painted the bridges blue 
B             C#m7                                             
    It see -        ms less like a home to me 
B                Amaj7                                          
    Than just a       place they bury you 


B               G#m                                           
     Now we're      lit up like a cathedral 
        B                  Amaj7 /                              
In our     frozen concrete         room  
B         C#m7                                                 
     And       without her 
   A                                                    
It     might as well be the  
                C#m7       A -                                  
surface of the       moon  


Break: 
E           F#m                 G#m                               
     So I       need her and I      love her 
         C#m        C#m                                        
That is       true  
         F#m                       G#m                          
But I'm      stuck here like some       shipwreck 
            C#m                                            
Instead of      holding on to you 

           A                                             
When they     beat out the tramps 
     A                                                   
And     patch up the slums 
B                        C#m7                                  
     Everything will be       fine 
               G#m                G#7                          
There'll be a      new façade for      us  
              C#m7        Amaj7                                   
to hide be -        hind

C#m7 - G#m - E  


           E                                             
So on the     ancient trails of our coupling 
B            A                                              
     In the     places we used to meet 
B             C#m7                                            
     I am a -       mazed by the lack of memories 
B            A                                              
     That I     thought would flood through me 
B             E                                             
     And the     riverside where we first kissed  
B         A                                                 
     has     now been reduced 
B          C#m7                                                
     To a       phony old world market  
B                A                                          
     where only     shoppers get seduced 


B              G#m                                            
     Now your       arms embrace me strangely  
         B            Amaj7 /                                   
in your    unfamiliar         room 
      B       C#m7 /                                            
And      for         all I care  
     Amaj7 /                                                   
it           might as well be the  
Amaj7                  C#m7                                        
       surface of the       moon Yeah for 
C#m7 /                                                      
       all I care  
     Amaj7                                                    
it        might as well be the  
Amaj7                 C#m7       Amaj7                                   
      surface of the       moon
