[Intro]
| G   | G   | C   | C   | x2
 
 
[Verse]
G                                                 C
I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
      G                                                   C
Keep waving at the taxis, they keep turning their lights off
     Am                                            D
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west-side loft
              Am            C               Am        D          G
Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning, they'll be gone
 
     G                                           C
When everything is lonely, I can be my own best friend
         G                                        C
I get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
         Am                                            D
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
           Am            C               Am        D         G
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit
 
 
[Chorus]
      C                                 G
And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
   C                                           G                     A7
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out, trying to lift it
    C             Em              G       D     C
But me, I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
           Am              C               Am        D        G
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning, won't exist
 
 
[Verse]
               G                                              C
You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
          G                                                C
Just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back
         Am                                              D
Well it takes one to know one kid, I think you've got it bad
              Am          C               Am        D        G
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning's such a drag
 
            G                                              C
I've got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
            G                                                C
And if you promise to stay conscious, I will try and do the same
               Am                                             D
Yeah we might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain
         Am            C               Am        D        G
What was normal in the evening, by the morning, seems insane
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                                    G
And I'm not sure what the trouble was, that started all of this
      C                                  G      A7
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did
     C                      Em              G     D           C
It's not something I would recommend but it is one way to live
               Am            C                 Am       D      G
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning, never is
 
              Am           C                  Am      D     Em
Yeah it was simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated
 
           Am            C             Am            C            Am
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight, so simple in
    C          G
the moonlight...

Pretty good, but the alignment of the chords with the words needs some work on some of these lines. It's all screwed up on the last line of each paragraph, maybe it was typed in the wrong font or something. But I disagree with indigopulse, this is way better than version 3, which has glaringly incorrect chords and some lyric problems too.

Guys! His work is real good. As musicians you should know when to switch a chord for gods sake... Don't you have basic musical hearing?
