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

It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
A#maj7 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
A#maj7 F C
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
A#maj7 F C Dm
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
A#maj7 F C Dm
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
A#maj7 F
It's old human nature,
A#maj7 F
It's cold or it's hot
A#maj7 F
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn

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

It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
A#maj7 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
A#maj7 F C
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win

Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
A#maj7 F C Dm
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in

It's cold or it's hot

I like you a lot
A#maj7 F
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
C
I'd say snow's what we've got.

and for all of our trouble

For all of our trouble

For all of our trouble
C
We be lonely again.
