C                         G     
Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall
    C                          F
And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall
C                                      G 
Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat
 F                        G
Beneath the stars on the street
C                  G 
Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand
C                F
Velvet aces they case the promised land
C                       G 
Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands
F                     G
Oh, tryin' to catch a ride


[Chorus]

              C      Am      F            G
Tonight we're lovers in the cold, oh, oh, oh
                 C          Am      F            G
Running past the graveyards in the snow, no, no, no
               C             Am          F        G
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh
         F                       G
And it's no, no, no, no, no, no, no


[Interlude]

C   /   G   /   C   /    F    /   C  /   G  /   F   /  G  


[Verse 2]

           C                      G
Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store
C                     F
He pulls away just as Billy runs out the door
C                   G        F          G
Oh and Billy won't run anymore, no, no, no
C                        G
Oh baby I can't lay the stars at your feet
          C                                F
Oh but I think we could take it all, just you and me
C                                 G
Oh come on, you'll see, there's a lot of room
    F                       G
For you baby, in this front seat


[Chorus]

              C      Am       F            G
Tonight we're lovers on that road, oh, oh, oh
                 C          Am     F             G
Running past the graveyards in the snow, oh, oh, oh
               C            Am         F          G
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh
         F                        G
And it's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh


[Interlude]

C   /   G   /   C   /   F   /   C   /   G   /   F   /   G   (repeat once)


[Chorus]

              C      Am      F            G
Tonight we're lovers in the snow, oh, oh, oh
                 C           F        G
Running past the graveyards, no, no, no
               C             Am       F            G
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh
         F                       G
And it's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
