[Verse]
D G
I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
D G
Keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
Em A
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west-side loft
Em G Em A D
Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning, they'll be gone
D G
When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend
D G
I get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
Em A
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
Em G Em A D
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit
[Chorus]
G D
And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
G D E7
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out, trying to lift it
G Bm D A G
But me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
Em G Em A D
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning, won't exist
[Verse]
D G
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
D G
Just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back
Em A
Well it takes one to know one kid, I think you've got it bad
Em G Em A D
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag
D G
I've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
D G
And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same
Em A
Yeah we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
Em G Em A D
What was normal in the evening, by the morning, seems insane
[Chorus]
G D
And I'm not sure what the trouble was, that started all of this
G D E7
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did
G Bm D A G
It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live
Em G Em A D
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning, never is
Em G Em A Bm
Yeah it was simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated
Em G Em G Em
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight, so simple in
G D
the moonlight...
