[Verse 1]
G G/B
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Cmaj7 G D
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
G G/B
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Cmaj7 G D
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Cmaj7 G D Em
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Cmaj7 G D Em
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
It's old human nature,
Cmaj7 G
It's cold or it's hot
Cmaj7 G
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Cmaj7 G
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Cmaj7 G
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
D
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 2]
G G/B
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Cmaj7 G D
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
G G/B
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Cmaj7 G D
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Cmaj7 G D Em
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Cmaj7 G D Em
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
It's old human nature,
Cmaj7 G
It's cold or it's hot
Cmaj7 G
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Cmaj7 G
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Cmaj7 G
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
D
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
G G/B
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Cmaj7 G D
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
G G/B
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Cmaj7 G D
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
Cmaj7 G D Em
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
Cmaj7 G D Em
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
It's old human nature,
Cmaj7 G
It's cold or it's hot
Cmaj7 G
I think of you often,
Cmaj7 G
I like you a lot
Cmaj7 G
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
D
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
Cmaj7 G D Em
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Cmaj7 G
and for all of our trouble
Cmaj7 G
For all of our trouble
Cmaj7 G
For all of our trouble
D
We be lonely again.
