#1.
Eb
Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
    Abm                       E              Eb
and ten-cent red roses from department store counters
Abm                      E             Eb
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river
  Dbm            Eb               Dbm             Eb
beside where the trains cross the bridge and slow down
Abm                          E          Eb
Trains with white letters on black iron sides
    Abm                     E          Eb
and wild rushing water that all rolls away
    Dbm         Eb           Dbm         Eb
And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay
Abm                     E         Eb
Everyone's moving, with places to go
    Dbm    Eb    Dbm          Eb            Abm
and Mr. Zero, he sadly stands still, as the water
                  E            Eb
goes one way, the train goes another
    Dbm         Eb
Mr. Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't
Abm    Bb Eb
bother

#2.
Eb
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as
Abm          Gb       E               Eb
campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness
    Abm                   E                Eb
The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn
Eb                      Dbm           Eb
Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone
Abm                 E               Eb
Fast moving cars disappear down the highway
     Abm             E                    Eb
with signs that say, hitch-hikers, do not disturb
    Dbm        Eb      Dbm         Eb
Mr. Zero looks quietly up from the curb
Abm                    E            Eb
Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, and Little
                Dbm        Eb
Miss Someone is on her way home
    Abm         E                         Eb
Mr. Zero stands watching, her plane flies above
         Dbm          Eb                         Abm  Bb
and with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love

#3.
Eb
Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday
    Abm                   E           Eb
and tapestry kittens that hung on the wall
         Abm                   E          Eb
They all die in the air like a soft minor chord
  Dbm     Eb          Dbm      Eb
a vacancy sign, and a bulletin board
    Abm                  E       Eb
Mr. Zero is wrapping his jacket around him
         Abm                              E         Eb
speaking kind words that should have been said long ago
    Dbm         Eb           Dbm         Eb
but Little Miss Someone does not want to know
    Abm                        E           Eb
The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf
    Dbm       Eb         Dbm         Eb
Mr. Zero sits lonely and talks to himself
     Abm                          E             Eb
It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed
    Dbm              Eb            Abm Ab   Gb Abm
the charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost
