[Verse 1]
A A/C#
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Dmaj7 A E
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
A A/C#
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Dmaj7 A E
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Dmaj7 A E F#m
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Dmaj7 A E F#m
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 A
It's old human nature,
Dmaj7 A
It's cold or it's hot
Dmaj7 A
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Dmaj7 A
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Dmaj7 A
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
E
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 2]
A A/C#
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Dmaj7 A E
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
A A/C#
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Dmaj7 A E
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Dmaj7 A E F#m
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Dmaj7 A E F#m
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 A
It's old human nature,
Dmaj7 A
It's cold or it's hot
Dmaj7 A
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Dmaj7 A
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Dmaj7 A
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
E
I'd say snow's what we've got.

Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn

I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
A A/C#
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Dmaj7 A E
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
A A/C#
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Dmaj7 A E
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
Dmaj7 A E F#m
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
Dmaj7 A E F#m
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 A
It's old human nature,
Dmaj7 A
It's cold or it's hot
Dmaj7 A
I think of you often,
Dmaj7 A
I like you a lot
Dmaj7 A
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
E
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
Dmaj7 A E F#m
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Dmaj7 A
and for all of our trouble
Dmaj7 A
For all of our trouble
Dmaj7 A
For all of our trouble
E
We be lonely again.
