[Verse 1]
F# F#/A#
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Bmaj7 F# C#
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
F# F#/A#
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Bmaj7 F# C#
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 F#
It's old human nature,
Bmaj7 F#
It's cold or it's hot
Bmaj7 F#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Bmaj7 F#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Bmaj7 F#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
C#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
F# F#/A#
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Bmaj7 F# C#
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
F# F#/A#
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Bmaj7 F# C#
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 F#
It's old human nature,
Bmaj7 F#
It's cold or it's hot
Bmaj7 F#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Bmaj7 F#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Bmaj7 F#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
C#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Solo]
F# F#/A# Bmaj7 F# C#
F# F#/A# Bmaj7 F# C#
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 F#
It's old human nature,
Bmaj7 F#
It's cold or it's hot
Bmaj7 F#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Bmaj7 F#
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Bmaj7 F#
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
C#
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
F# F#/A#
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Bmaj7 F# C#
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
F# F#/A#
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Bmaj7 F# C#
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in
[Chorus]
Bmaj7 F#
It's old human nature,
Bmaj7 F#
It's cold or it's hot
Bmaj7 F#
I think of you often,
Bmaj7 F#
I like you a lot
Bmaj7 F#
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
C#
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
Bmaj7 F# C# D#m
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Bmaj7 F#
and for all of our trouble
Bmaj7 F#
For all of our trouble
Bmaj7 F#
For all of our trouble
C#
We be lonely again.
