Intro:

D, G  A (x2)

Verse 1:

D           G      A      D Outside, a-nother yellow moon,
              G           AHas punched a hole in the night-time, yes.
D  G                 A          D I climb through the window and down to the street,
    G              AI'm shining like a new dime.

Bridge 1:

G             A The downtown trains are full,
G                  A With all of those Brooklyn girls.
G                    A They try so hard to break out of their little worlds.

Verse 2:

D                    G             A                  D Well, you wave your hand and they scatter like crows,
          G                      A                  DThey have nothing that will ever capture your heart.
G             A                         D They're just thorns, without the rose;
   G          ABe careful of them in the dark.

Bridge 2:

G         A Oh, if I was the one,
G                          A You chose to be your only one.
         G                     AOh baby, can't you hear me now? Can't you hear me now?

Chorus 1:

D                  G     A Will I see you to-night,
D              G      A On a downtown train?
D      G                        Em Every night it's just the same;
A You leave me lonely, now.

Verse 3:

D            G            A         D I know your window and I know it's late,
            G               AI know your stairs and your doorway.
D                 G          A         D I walk down your street and past your gate,
               G            AI stand by the light at the four-way.

Bridge 3:

G                       A You watch them as they fall,
   G                         AOh baby, they all have heart-attacks.
     G                                AThey stay at the carnival but they'll never win you back.

Chorus 2:

D                  G     A Will I see you to-night,
D              G      A On a downtown train?
      D            G                               EmWhere every night, every night, it's just the same.
A Oh baby...

D                  G     A Will I see you to-night,
D              G      A On a downtown train?
D          G                      Em All of my dreams, they fall like rain,
   AOh baby, on a downtown train.
