Enjoy!
[Intro] G Cmaj7 D (x2)
[Verse 1]
G Cmaj7 D G
Outside another yellow moon
Cmaj7 D G
punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
Cmaj7 D G
Climb through your window and down the street
Cmaj7 D C
I'm shining like a new dime
D C D
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
C/E D/F#
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
[Verse 2]
G Cmaj7 D G
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
Cmaj7 D G
They have nothing that can capture your heart
Cmaj7 D G
They're just thorns without the rose
Cmaj7 D C
Be careful of them in the dark
D C D
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
C/E D/F#
Oh baby can't you hear me, can't you hear me now
[Chorus]
G C D G C D
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
G C Am D7
Every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely now
[Verse 3]
G Cmaj7 D G
I know your window and I know it's late
Cmaj7 D G
I know your stairs and your doorway
Cmaj7 D G
I walk down your street and past your gate
Cmaj7 D C
I stand by the light at the four-way
D C D
You watch them as they fall, they all have heart attacks
C/E D/F#
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
[Chorus]
G C D G C D
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
G C Am D7
Where every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely
G C D G C D
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
G C Am D7
All of my tears just fall like rain, all upon the downtown train
Enjoy!
