[Verse 1]
Dm C
I remember her frightened eyes and her mouth so quick to mock,
Dm C
listening late at night, surprised by her soft Midwestern talk.
Am F
In the corner of the cafe, as dark as an eclipse,
Em Dm C
she tried to smile but her cheek lines put parentheses around her lips.
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Walk down Grand Street, the wind would blow us round and round
Dm C
and all her talk was incomplete, so I just listened to the sound.
Am F
She could never see my heart, back then it was a blur.
Em Dm C
Oh, but it's true, I was the handsomest man in New York when I walked down the street with her.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
[Verse 3]
Dm C
We were walking, sort of dancing, up on the rooftop real slow,
Dm C
quietly waiting to get stung by Lester Young over that tiny radio.
Am F
There were so many men in her eyes, I knew she never could be mine,
Em Dm C
everyone must die alone and that's just how some men will always walk the line.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
[Verse 4]
Dm C
It was out at the newsstand, the corner of MacDougal and West Third,
Dm C
she took back her hand and said goodbye to this day I pretend I never heard.
Am F
Let the years roll away, let the seasons disappear,
Em Dm C
and if I seem to be okay I'm just thinking of the time I held her near.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
[Interlude]
| Am | F | Em Dm | C |
[End-Chorus] (Repeat and Fade Out)
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
Dm C
Ah na na na na, na na na.
