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

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

[Chorus]
D#maj7 A#
It's old human nature,
D#maj7 A#
It's cold or it's hot
D#maj7 A#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
D#maj7 A#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
D#maj7 A#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
F
I'd say snow's what we've got.

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