[Intro]
| G | - | C/G | - |
| G | - |
[Verse 1]
C/G G
I know that it is freezing
But I think we have to walk
C/G G
Keep waving at the taxis
They keep turning the lights off
C/G Am
But Julie knows a party at some actor's West Side loft
D Am C
Supplies are endless in the evening
Am D
By the morning they'll be gone
[Verse 2]
G G
When everything is lonely
I can be my own best friend
C/G G
I get a coffee and the paper
Have my own conversations
C/G Am
With the sidewalk and the pigeons
And my window reflection
D Am C
The mask i polish in the evening
Am D
By the morning looks like shit
[Chorus]
G C
And I know you have a heavy heart
G
I can feel it when we kiss
C
So many men stronger than me
G A7
Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
C Em
But me I'm not a gamble
G D
You can count on me to split
C Am C
The love I sell you in the evening
Am D G
By the morning won't exist
[Verse 3]
G
You looking skinny like a model
With your eyes all painted black
C/G G
Just keep going to the bathroom
Only say you'll be right back
C/G Am
Well it takes one to know one kid
I think you've got it bad
D Am C
But what's so easy in the evening
Am D G
By the morning it's such a drag
G
Got a flask inside my pocket
We can share it on the train
C/G G
And if you promise to stay conscious
I'll try and do the same
C/G Am
Well we might die from medication
But we sure killed all the pain
D Am C
What was normal in the evening
Am D
By the morning seems insane
[Chorus]
G C
And I'm not sure what the trouble was
G
What started all of this
C
The reasons all have run away
G A7
But the feeling never did
C Em
It's not something I would recommend
G D C
But it is one way to live
Am C
Cause what is simple in the moonlight
Am D
By the morning never is
G Am C
It was simple in the moonlight
Am D Em
Now it's so complicated
[Outro]
Am C
It was so simple in the moonlight
Am C
so simple in the moonlight
Am C G
so simple in the moonlight
