Gm                                      Eb
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Gm                                     Eb
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
Gm                                      Eb
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
D                         Gm            F       C
Midnight blues comin' through the walls


Gm                              Eb
I tried to call you on the telephone
Gm                              Eb              
I left it off the hook just to hear it ring
Gm                                     Eb 
You told me you were better off alone
D                      Eb
I never knew that tears could stain

Chorus
G#m                         E       F#       G#m
I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
            E       B      F#
Lookin' down at all the cars
          A    E
I can see you
G#m                         E         F#     G#m
In the window of your favorite corner bar
E                 B         F#
But to reach you is just too far
A                        E
And I might as well be on Mars


Gm                                      Eb
The city seems so old and grey and beat
Gm                                      Eb
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
Gm                              Eb
And you just live across the street
        D                       Eb
But that's a billion miles away








G#m                                 E          F#       G#m
You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
  E     B       F#      
Like a planet lost in space
               A  E
My light is fadin'
G#m                          E          F#      G#m
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
   E          B      F#
But I'm right in your backyard
        A                       E
And I might as well be on Mars

Bridge
                                   F#
I might as well be on Mars
             E     B
You can't see me
                        F#
I might as well be the Man on the Moon
                   E     B
You can't hear me
Ebm          Esus4   E
Oh, can you feel me 
        C#m       B        F#
So close and yet so far
            A             Gm F#         B
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

If I could I'd come down to ya
Maybe I should try
