D
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
GD
I wish you were around to see it too
BmAG
I'm so happy I could cry, why'd you'd have to go and die like that?
D
It's a shame when people ain't around to see
GD
The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed
BmAG
These people don't know me, and I don't plan on showing what I've seen
D
And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
GD
She said, "Boy, there ain't no real point in helping ya"
BmAG
The only thing you've ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool
D
So don't act like you know who I am
G
'Cause the more I'll explain, the less you'll understand
BmAG
Them assholes downtown are the only ones around that even try
[Chorus]
BmA
So look up tonight
GDD/C#
The moon, she's shining
BmA
And we'll be alright
GD
'Cause she's still smiling
BmA
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
GD
The more I search, the less I find
BmA
But I'm alright
GD
'Cause she's here tonight
BmAGD
Oh, she's alright
[Verse 2]
D
And I still recall the night you're heading home
GD
You were fighting so hard I knew you couldn't be alone
BmAG
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on
D
And I'll tell you all these stories one day
GD
And we'll laugh like we used to and waste the night away
BmAG
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya," but son, I was with you this whole time
[Chorus]
BmA
So look up tonight
GDD/C#
The moon, she's shining
BmA
And we'll be alright
GD
'Cause she's still smiling
BmA
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
GD
The more I search, the less I find
BmA
But I'm alright
GD
'Cause she's here tonight
BmA
Oh, she's alright
GD
She's alright
BmAGD
Oh, she's alright
[Outro]
D
Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
GD
I wish you were around to see it too
BmAG
I'm so down that I could cry, why'd my best friend up and die like that?
