[intro]


G5 G5    C5          D5        G5   G5
   Outside another yellow moon
                 C5           D5
   Has punched a hole in the nighttime
G5  G5                   C5           D5             G5   G5
   I climb through the window and down to the street
       C5              D5
   I'm shining like a new dime


C5 C5         D5              D5
   The downtown trains are full
C5       C5           D5       D5
   With all those Brooklyn girls
E5          E5     D5             D5
   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


G5         G5         C5     C5    G5      G5        C5     C5
   Will I see you tonight        on a downtown train
G5         G5          C5  C5            A5   A5   D5             D5       ( G5 ...)
   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

[instrumental]

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
