Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | Em | C | D |

[Verse 1]
G                               Em
 You can tell Gail, if she calls
         C                        D
That I'm famous now for all these rock and roll songs
G                        Em
 And even if that's a lie
C                            D
 She should've given me a try
             Em          D            C            G
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school
Em         D        C
I would've been her fool
      Em            D                      C
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school
G
halls
                     D           G
You tell that to Gail if she calls

[Interlude]
| Em | C | D |

[Verse 2]
G                                    Em
 And you can tell Jane, if she writes
         C                                       D
That I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy
Hollywood nights
G                       Em
 And that's total deceit
C                          D
 But she should've married me
    Em               D                 C                 G
And tell her I spend every night of my youth on the floor
Em                D         C
Bleeding out from all these wounds
      Em                  D                 C
And I would've gotten her right out of that town she
        G
despised
                   D                G
You tell that to Janie if she writes

[Chorus]
    Em           C        G                D
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
        Em         C           G    D
That'll cut you to ribbons sometimes
    Em          C          G               D
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
    Em            C        G   D              Em C
And bleed if it's what she says you ought to do

[Verse 3]
G                             Em
 You remind Anna, if she asks why
       C                                  D
That a thief stole my heart while she was making up her
mind
G                                           Em
 I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool
         C                                 D
And goes crazy over that New York Scene on 7th Avenue
      Em                D       C                     G
But I used to wait in a diner a million nights without her
Em                D                   C
Praying she won't cancel again tonight
        Em               D             C           G
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh
           D                       G
You remind Anna, if she asks you why

[Interlude]
Em C D                     G
      Tell her it's alright
Em C
D                                  Em D
 You know it's hard to tell you this

[Outro]
C G Em D C                          Em D
          It's hard to tell you this
C G       D                  G
   Here's looking at you, kid
