Hi
For those of you who don't want to use a capo,
heres a quite good version.
Just use standard chords in the chorus and these in the verse:
(D chord)
E------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------|
D-------0------------------------0---------------------|
G-----------2----2---2---2-----------2----2---2---2----|
B-----------3----3---3---3-----------3----3---3---3----|
E-----------2----2---2---2-----------2----2---2---2----|
(G chord)
E------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------|
G-------0------------------------0---------------------|
B-----------3-----3---3---3----------3----3---3---3----|
E-----------3-----2---2---2----------2----3---3---3----|
It might take a while to figure out all the rhythm, but it's woth it :)
Intro: D|G|D|G
Verse 1:
D G
I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
D G
Keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
Em A
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west-side loft
Em G Em A D
Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning, they'll be gone.
D G
When everthing is lonely, I can be my own best friend
D G
I get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
Em A
With the sidewalk and the pidgeons and my window reflection
Em G Em A D
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit.

G D
And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss.
G D E7
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out, trying to lift it.
G Bm Em D G
But me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split,

Well it takes one to know one kid, I think you've got it bad.

But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag.

I've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train.

And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same.

Yeah we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain,

What was normal in the evening, by the morning, seems insane.

And I'm not sure what the trouble was, that started all of this.

The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did.

It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live,

'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning, never is.

It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight,

so simple in the moonlight
