G                                                 C
I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
      G                                                   C
Keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
     Am                                            D
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west-side loft
              Am            C               Am        D          G
Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning, they'll be gone

     G                                           C
When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend
         G                                        C
I get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
         Am                                            D
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
           Am            C               Am        D         G
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit


[Chorus]
      C                                 G
And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
   C                                           G                     A7
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out, trying to lift it
    C             Em              G       D     C
But me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
           Am              C               Am        D        G
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning, won't exist


[Verse]
               G                                              C
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
          G                                                C
Just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back
         Am                                              D
Well it takes one to know one kid, I think you've got it bad
              Am          C               Am        D        G
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag

            G                                              C
I've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
            G                                                C
And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same
               Am                                             D
Yeah we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
         Am            C               Am        D        G
What was normal in the evening, by the morning, seems insane


[Chorus]
         C                                    G
And I'm not sure what the trouble was, that started all of this
      C                                  G      A7
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did
     C                      Em              G     D           C
It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live
               Am            C                 Am       D      G
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning, never is

              Am           C                  Am      D     Em 
Yeah it was simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated

           Am            C             Am            C            Am
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight, so simple in
    C          G
the moonlight...
