Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

CF I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk CF I just keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off DmG But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft DmFDmGC Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning they'll be gone
CF When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend CF I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations DmG With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection DmFDmGC The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit
FC And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss FCDmG So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it AmCF But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split DmFDmGC The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist
CF You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black CF You just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back DmG Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad DmFDmGC But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag
CF I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train CF And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same DmG We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain DmFDmGC What was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane
FC And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this FCDmG The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did AmCF It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live DmFDmGC 'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is
DmFDmGAm It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated DmDm It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight No Chords C It was so simple in the moonlight
