verse 1
C G
Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall
C F
And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall
C G
Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat
F G
Beneath the stars on the street
C G
Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand
C F
Velvet aces they case the promised land
C G
Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands
F G
Oh, tryin' to catch a ride
C Am F G
Tonight we're lovers in the cold, oh, oh, oh
C Am F G
Running past the graveyards in the snow, no, no, no
C Am F G
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh
F G
And it's no, no, no, no, no, no, no
