[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
