[Verse 1]
D D/F#
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Gmaj7 D A
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
D D/F#
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Gmaj7 D A
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Gmaj7 D A Bm
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Gmaj7 D A Bm
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 D
It's old human nature,
Gmaj7 D
It's cold or it's hot
Gmaj7 D
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Gmaj7 D
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Gmaj7 D
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
A
I'd say snow's what we've got.

D D/F#
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Gmaj7 D A
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
D D/F#
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Gmaj7 D A
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Gmaj7 D A Bm
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Gmaj7 D A Bm
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 D
It's old human nature,
Gmaj7 D
It's cold or it's hot
Gmaj7 D
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn

You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Gmaj7 D
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
A
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
D D/F#
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Gmaj7 D A
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
D D/F#
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Gmaj7 D A
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
Gmaj7 D A Bm
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
Gmaj7 D A Bm
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in

It's old human nature,
Gmaj7 D
It's cold or it's hot
Gmaj7 D
I think of you often,
Gmaj7 D
I like you a lot
Gmaj7 D
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
A
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
Gmaj7 D A Bm
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Gmaj7 D
and for all of our trouble
Gmaj7 D
For all of our trouble
Gmaj7 D
For all of our trouble
A
We be lonely again.
