G                           Em
You can tell Gayle, if she calls,

           C                          D 
that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.

G                    Em  C                         D
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.

              Em            D           C             G
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school.

Em          D         C
I would've been her fool.

      Em            D                      C               G
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls.

G                D             G     Em  C  D 
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

G                              Em
 And you can tell Jane, if she writes, 

         C                                       D                      
that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.

G                  Em  C                           D  
 That's total deceit,    but she should've married me.

    Em               D                 C            G
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor, 

Em                D         C
bleeding out from all these wounds.

  Em                    D                C           G
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.

G                D             G       G
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

    Em           C        G                D
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes

          Em         C           G     D   
that will cut you to ribbons sometimes.

    Em          C          G           D
And all you can do is just wait by the moon

    Em            C        G   D            Em   
and bleed if it's what she says  you oughta do.
Em G D A Em C G D Em D C G G D G
G                              Em
  You remind Anna, if she asks why,

       C                                  D 
that a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.

G                                      Em
  heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,

     C                                 D 
goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.

      Em                  D           C               G
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,

Em                D              C
praying she won't cancel again tonight.

        Em               D             C           G
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.

G          D                  G  G  
You remind Anna, if she asks why.

Em Em C C D D               G     G
            Tell her it’s alright

Em Em C C D               D                   Em
            You-know-it's-hard to tell you this.

D  C  G  Em  D  C         C                    Em
                  Oh-it's-hard to tell you this.

D  C  G   G        D               G
                Here's looking at you, Kid.
