[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.

[Chorus 1]
      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,
           Em              G               Em       A       D
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning, won't exist.

[Verse 2]
               D                                              G
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black,
          D                                                G
Just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back.
     Em                                                  A
Well it takes one to know one kid, I think you've got it bad.
              Em          G               Em        A      D
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag.

           D                                              G
I've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train.
           D                                                G
And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same.
              Em                                             A
Yeah we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain,
         Em            G               Em       A     D
What was normal in the evening, by the morning, seems insane.

[Chorus 2]
        G                                    D
And I'm not sure what the trouble was, that started all of this.
      G                                  D           E7  E
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did.
         G                  Bm              Em     D      G
It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live,
               Em            G                 Em       A     D
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning, never is.

[Outro]
             Em           G                  Em   A    Bm
Yeah it was simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated.
           Em            G             Em            G
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight,
    Em            G        D
