[Verse 1]
B B/D#
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Emaj7 B F#
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
B B/D#
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Emaj7 B F#
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Emaj7 B F# G#m
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Emaj7 B F# G#m
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Emaj7 B
It's old human nature,
Emaj7 B
It's cold or it's hot
Emaj7 B
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Emaj7 B
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Emaj7 B
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 2]
B B/D#
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Emaj7 B F#
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
B B/D#
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Emaj7 B F#
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Emaj7 B F# G#m
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Emaj7 B F# G#m
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
Emaj7 B
It's old human nature,
Emaj7 B
It's cold or it's hot
Emaj7 B
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Emaj7 B
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Emaj7 B
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
B B/D#
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Emaj7 B F#
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
B B/D#
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Emaj7 B F#
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
Emaj7 B F# G#m
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
Emaj7 B F# G#m
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in
[Chorus]
Emaj7 B
It's old human nature,
Emaj7 B
It's cold or it's hot
Emaj7 B
I think of you often,
Emaj7 B
I like you a lot
Emaj7 B
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
Emaj7 B F# G#m
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Emaj7 B
and for all of our trouble
Emaj7 B
For all of our trouble
Emaj7 B
For all of our trouble
F#
We be lonely again.
