Surface Of The Moon

Intro:
C#m7 - Amaj7      7x


E
    Snow in a soulless city
B - A
       Covers up the tracks in the road
B         C#m7
    As a       wastrel buys her cigarettes
B        Amaj7
    And       wipes her pretty nose
B           E                          B
    Like a      part-time Elvis imi -     tator
       A
These    streets I knew so well
B              C#m7                        B
    Have been       pasted beyond recog -     nition
        Amaj7
With a      temporary smell


B            G#m
    Now the      midnight train eases out
          B               Amaj7 /
Leaving     everyone ma -        rooned
     C#m7
And       without her
    A
It     might as well be the
                C#m7        Amaj7
surface of the        moon

C#m7 - Amaj7      2x
C#m7 - G#m - E


             E
So from the     well-swept streets of Jackson Heights
B           A
    To the     dockside drudgery
B - C#m7
          Everything is now a replica
B        A
    Of     what it used to be
B                   E
    But since they     tarted up the trenches
B        A
    And     painted the bridges blue
B             C#m7
    It see -        ms less like a home to me
B                Amaj7
    Than just a       place they bury you


B               G#m
     Now we're      lit up like a cathedral
        B                  Amaj7 /
In our     frozen concrete         room
B         C#m7
     And       without her
   A
It     might as well be the
                C#m7       A -
surface of the       moon


Break:
E           F#m                 G#m
     So I       need her and I      love her
         C#m        C#m
That is       true
         F#m                       G#m
But I'm      stuck here like some       shipwreck
            C#m
Instead of      holding on to you

           A
When they     beat out the tramps
     A
And     patch up the slums
B                        C#m7
     Everything will be       fine
               G#m                G#7
There'll be a      new façade for      us
              C#m7        Amaj7
to hide be -        hind

C#m7 - Amaj7      2x
C#m7 - G#m - E


           E
So on the     ancient trails of our coupling
B            A
     In the     places we used to meet
B             C#m7
     I am a -       mazed by the lack of memories
B            A
     That I     thought would flood through me
B             E
     And the     riverside where we first kissed
B         A
     has     now been reduced
B          C#m7
     To a       phony old world market
B                A
     where only     shoppers get seduced


B              G#m
     Now your       arms embrace me strangely
         B            Amaj7 /
in your    unfamiliar         room
      B       C#m7 /
And      for         all I care
     Amaj7 /
it           might as well be the
Amaj7                  C#m7
       surface of the       moon Yeah for
C#m7 /
       all I care
     Amaj7
it        might as well be the
Amaj7                 C#m7       Amaj7
      surface of the       moon
