[Each chord is half a measure.]
[Try using C(9) instead of C 
sometimes, and Dsus instead of D; 
I'm
 not sure _exactly_ which chords are
 used.]

   Outside another yellow moon

   I climb through the window and

 down to the street
       C              D
   I'm shining like a new dime

C C         D              D
   The downtown trains are full
C       C           D       D
   With all those Brooklyn girls

Em          Em     D/F#         
   They try so hard to break out
    D/F#
 of their little world

You wave your hand and they scatter 
like crows
They have nothing that will ever 
capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark

And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now

G         G         C     C    
   Will I see you tonight      
G      G        C     C
  on a downtown train
G         G          C  C      
   Where every night     is 
      Am   Am   D             D 
just the same;      You leave me
      (G...)
 lonely now

(Now) I know your window and I know 
it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past 
your gate
I stand by the light at the fourway

You watch them as they fall
Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but 
they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown
 train
Where every night, every night is 
just the same; you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight on a downtown
 train
Where every night, every night is 
just the same, all upon a downtown
