[Verse 1]
C C/E
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Fmaj7 C G
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
C C/E
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Fmaj7 C G
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Fmaj7 C G Am
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Fmaj7 C G Am
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
It's old human nature,
Fmaj7 C
It's cold or it's hot
Fmaj7 C
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Fmaj7 C
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Fmaj7 C
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
G
I'd say snow's what we've got.

C C/E
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Fmaj7 C G
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
C C/E
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Fmaj7 C G
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Fmaj7 C G Am
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Fmaj7 C G Am
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]

It's old human nature,
Fmaj7 C
It's cold or it's hot

But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn

It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Fmaj7 C G
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
C C/E
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Fmaj7 C G
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
