[Intro] D Bm A G (x4) D [Verse 1] D Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful G D I wish you were around to see it too Bm A I'm so happy I could cry, why'd G you'd have to go and die like that? D It's a shame when people ain't around to see G The smiles that they nurture, D the laughter they breed Bm These people don't know me, A and I don't G plan on showing what I've seen D And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia G She said, "Boy, there ain't D no real point in helping ya" Bm The only thing you've ever A owned were high hopes G and a pocket comb, you fool D So don't act like you know who I am G 'Cause the more I'll explain, the less you'll understand Bm Them assholes downtown are the A G only ones around that even try

Bm A
So look up tonight
G D D/C#
The moon, she's shining
Bm A
And we'll be alright
G D
'Cause she's still smiling
Bm A
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
G D
The more I search, the less I find
Bm A
But I'm alright
G D
'Cause she's here tonight
Bm A G D
Oh, she's alright

[Verse 2]
D
And I still recall the night
you're heading home
G
You were fighting so hard
D
I knew you couldn't be alone
Bm A
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had
G
to be a man from that night on
D
And I'll tell you all
these stories one day
G
And we'll laugh like we used to
D
and waste the night away
Bm
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed ya,"
A G
but son, I was with you this whole time
