Balcony Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]There was a party at that
high-rise up up on [F#m]Harmon
It was dead except [Bm]a couple
people [A]dancing
While our [D]eyes were still adjusting to the
[F#m]dark her appetite was exp[Bm]anding[A]
The [G]dude with the long fingernails I don't
think that I trust him all that [D]much[A]
It cost ten [G]dollars just
to get inside the building
It costs more to get [Asus4]in touch
[D]

[Verse 2]
[A]
I went [D]to the SA to get some cig[A]s
I asked the doorman to
remem[G]ber me
I looked [D]up to see the moon and I saw
[A]you and him out on the balcony[G]
It was the same thing that you
did [Bm]to me[G]
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Don't [D]want to be your old man
I want to be [F#m]your new man another
time all [Bm]over[A]
I mis[D]s the way your eyes they used to s[F#m]park
when you'd look over your [Bm]shoulder
[A]The [G]dude with the long fingernails I think
he's gonna take such good care [D]of you[A]
I've seen him [G]shave up
at the library

[Verse 4]
I've seen him sleep behind the Caribou
[D]I t[A]ook[D] the bus back uptown
because [A]I knew that it was over
I [G]didn't need to know the rest of it
I know the [D]look. I know the lines
I know [A]the laugh from back
when we first [G]started it
Such a drunk romantic gen[Bm]esis[G][Bm][G]
Now we've really made a mess [D]of this
[A]I'll[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm][A][D][F#m][D][Bm][A][D]
[A][Bm][A][D]
[Bm]put [A]your stu[D]ff out on the driveway
You [F#m]can get it when [D]you walk back
[F#m]through the white [Bm]light[A]
I'll leave [D]a sandwich in your suitcase in case you're
[F#m]hungry when you come back from the high-rise
[Bm]I I [A]hope you[G]r dude don't break his nails when he
tries to help you carry all [D]your stuff[A]
It costs ten [G]dollars for a taxi. It costs
a whole lot more to fall in love

[Verse 6]
[D]I w[A]ent[D] to the SA to get some cigs[A]
I asked the bagman to re[G]member me
I looked [D]up to see the moon and [A]I saw
you and him out on the balcon[G]y
It was the same thing that you did with [Bm]me

[Outro 1]
