Gillian Welch – Lua (Ukulele)

D                                                 C
I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk

       D                                                        C
I just keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off

    Em                                            D
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft

             Em             C               Em       D         D
Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning they'll be gone

D                                               C
When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend

           D                                            C
I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations

         Em                                             D
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection

           Em            C               Em      D          D
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit

      C                                  D
And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss

   C                                           D                   Em   D
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it

    Em                           D               C
But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split

           Em              C               Em      D     D 
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist

D                                                             C
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black

              D                                                 C
You just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back

         Em                                                D
Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad

              Em          C               Em        D      D
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag

D                                                      C
I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train

           D                                                C
And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same

         Em                                             D 
We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain

         Em            C               Em       D      D
What was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane

            C                               D
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this

    C                                   D            Em  D
The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did

         Em                                 D              C
It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live

              Em             C                 Em       D     D
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is

          Em            C                   Em      D     Em  
It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated

          Em                       Em 
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight
