You can tell Gayle, if she calls,

           F                          G 
that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.

F                    Am  F                         G
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.

              Am            G           F             F
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school.

Am          G         F
I would've been her fool.

     Am                    G                 F              F
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls.

F                G               F
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

F                           Am
And you can tell Jane, if she writes, 

           F                                       G 
that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.

F               Am   F                        G
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.

              Am           G           F             F
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor, 

    Am         G             F
bleeding out from all these wounds.

     Am                   G                 F              F
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.

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

      Am         F         F                G
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes

         Am       F               F     G   
that will cut you to ribbons sometimes.

     Am        F            F           G
And all you can do is just wait by the moon

     Am                     F               F   G 
and bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

You remind Anna, if she asks why,

       F                                   G 
that a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.

   F                                    Am
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,

   F                                   G 
goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.

              Am           G           F             F
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,

     Am         G             F
praying she won't cancel again tonight.

           Am           G           F             F
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.

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

F  Am F  G 
               Tell her it’s alright

F  Am F  G 
               You know it's hard to tell you this.

Am  G  F  F  Am  G  F  F
                       Oh it's hard to tell you this.

Am  G  F  F   F          G               F
                Here's looking at you, Kid.
