G G    C          D        G   G 
   Outside another yellow moon 
                 C           D 
   Has punched a hole in the nighttime 
G  G                   C           D             G   G 
   I climb through the window and down to the street 
       C              D 
   I'm shining like a new dime 
 

C C         D              D 
   The downtown trains are full 
C       C           D       D 
   With all those Brooklyn girls 
Em          Em     D/F#             D/F# 
   They try so hard to break out of their little world 
 
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows 

They have nothing that will ever capture your heart 

They're just thorns without the rose 

Oh, be careful of them in the dark 
 
And if I was the one 

You chose to be your only one 

Oh baby now, can't you hear me now 

 
G         G         C     C    G      G        C     C 
   Will I see you tonight        on a downtown train 
G         G          C  C            Am   Am   D             D       ( G...) 
   Where every night     is just the same;      You leave me lonely now 
 
(Now) I know your window and I know it's late 

I know your stairs and your doorway 

I walk down your street and past your gate 

I stand by the light at the fourway 
 
You watch them as they fall 

Ooh, and they all have heart attacks 

They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back 
 
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 

Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 

Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 

Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train 

Where all my dreams just fall like the rain, all upon a downtown train
