[Verse 1]
  C                                                F
I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
            C                                                    F
I just keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
    Dm                                             G
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
             Dm             F               Dm       G          C
Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning they'll be gone

[Verse 2]
     C                                           F
When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend
            C                                         F
I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
         Dm                                             G
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
           Dm            F               Dm      G          C
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit

[Chorus]
      F                                   C
And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
   F                                            C                   D7
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
    F              Am             C        G     F
But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
           Dm              F               Dm       G     C 
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
               C                                                F
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
              C                                                F
You just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back
      Dm                                                   G
Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
              Dm          F               Dm        G      C
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag

[Verse 4]
        C                                               F
I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
           C                                                 F
And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same
         Dm                                              G 
We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
         Dm            F               Dm       G      C
What was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane

[Chorus]
         F                                 C
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
    F                                  C             D7  
The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
            F               Am               C             F
It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live
               Dm            F                 Dm       G     C
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is

[Outro]
          Dm            F                   Dm      G    Am  
It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated
          Dm            F          Dm               F
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight
N.C.      Dm            F          C
It was so simple in the moonlight
