[Verse 1]
C# C#/F
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
F#maj7 C# G#
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
C# C#/F
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
F#maj7 C# G#
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C#
It's old human nature,
F#maj7 C#
It's cold or it's hot
F#maj7 C#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#maj7 C#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#maj7 C#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
G#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
C# C#/F
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
F#maj7 C# G#
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
C# C#/F
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
F#maj7 C# G#
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C#
It's old human nature,
F#maj7 C#
It's cold or it's hot
F#maj7 C#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#maj7 C#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#maj7 C#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
G#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Solo]
C# C#/F F#maj7 C# G#
C# C#/F F#maj7 C# G#
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C#
It's old human nature,
F#maj7 C#
It's cold or it's hot
F#maj7 C#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#maj7 C#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#maj7 C#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
G#
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
C# C#/F
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
F#maj7 C# G#
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
C# C#/F
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
F#maj7 C# G#
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in
[Chorus]
F#maj7 C#
It's old human nature,
F#maj7 C#
It's cold or it's hot
F#maj7 C#
I think of you often,
F#maj7 C#
I like you a lot
F#maj7 C#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
G#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
F#maj7 C# G# A#m
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
F#maj7 C#
and for all of our trouble
F#maj7 C#
For all of our trouble
F#maj7 C#
For all of our trouble
G#
We be lonely again.
C# C#/F F#maj7 C# G
