Gmaj7 F#m Gmaj7 Dmaj7

[Verse 1]
Gmaj7                  F#m
   You were living alone in the city
Gmaj7                       Dmaj7
   Open window lets the rain into the bed
Gmaj7                    F#m
   See you every day, outside the corner liquor store
Gmaj7                            Dmaj7
   Black coffee in your hands, between your lips a cigarette
Gmaj7                    F#m
   Ask you baby to come over (Da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Gmaj7                     Dmaj7
   We can bundle up drink wine and watch TV (Hhhaaaahh)
Gmaj7                        F#m
   Won't you stay for some coffee in the morning
E7                        A7
   And a breakfast that I made for you and me?

[Chorus 1]

Dmaj7
Darling,
                         Gmaj7
Won't you meet me in the city? (Meet me in the city)
    Em7
I'm too fucked up to use my phone
  A7
I want you to take me home
Dmaj7
Darling,
                         Gmaj7
Won't you meet me in the moonlight? (Meet me in the moonlight)
      Em7
Cause we're both growing old
    A7                            Dmaj7
And I don't want to waste another day

[Verse 2]

Gmaj7                    F#m
   Come home early on a Tuesday (Haaahaah)
Gmaj7                   Dmaj7
   Eating leftovers out on the fire escape (Hhhhaahhh)
Gmaj7                        F#m
   Folding laundry while you get out of the bathtub
Gmaj7                         Dmaj7
   Close the window, turn the lights out, shut the drapes (Haahahhahha)
Gmaj7           F#m
   Come on baby... I'll flip the record
Gmaj7                           Dmaj7
What's the point in growing old if it's not together? (Hhhaaahhh)
Gmaj7                         F#m
   You're just so good to me, got me begging on my knees
    E7
The way you smile, the way you speak
A7
Won't you meet me where I want to be?

[Chorus 2]

Dmaj7
Darling,
                         Gmaj7
Won't you meet me in the city? (Meet me in the city)
    Em7
I'm too fucked up to make it home
  A7
I don't want to go alone
Dmaj7
Darling,
                        Gmaj7
Won't you meet me after midnight? (Meet me after midnight)
      Em7
Cause we're both growing old
    A7                           Dmaj7    D7
And I dont want to waste another night

I wanna scream, I wanna shout, up on the rooftop we'll be making out! Ohhhh  ohhhh
      Gmaj7                      B7                                 Em7    Dmaj7         Cmaj7
