GGCDGGCDGGCDGGCD [intro]
GGCDGG Outside another yellow moon CD Has punched a hole in the nighttime GGCDGG I climb through the window and down to the street CD I'm shining like a new dime
CCDD The downtown trains are full CCDD With all those Brooklyn girls EmEmD/F#D/F# They try so hard to break out of their little world
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows They have nothing that will ever capture your heart They're just thorns without the rose Oh, be careful of them in the dark
And if I was the one You chose to be your only one Oh baby now, can't you hear me now
GGCCGGCC Will I see you tonight on a downtown train GGCCAmAmDD (G...) Where every night is just the same; You leave me lonely now
(Now) I know your window and I know it's late I know your stairs and your doorway I walk down your street and past your gate I stand by the light at the fourway
You watch them as they fall Ooh, and they all have heart attacks They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown
