[Verse 1]
E E/G#
I thank you your letters though they come to me slowly
Amaj7 E B
I hear the city's in a panic with its first foot of snow
E E/G#
I want to answer you quickly having read you again
Amaj7 E B
'Cause it sounds like you're dancing with time's favorite friend
[Pre-chorus]
Amaj7 E B C#m
And it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Amaj7 E B C#m
That for all of our trouble we be lonely again
[Chorus]
Amaj7 E
It's old human nature,
Amaj7 E
It's cold or it's hot
Amaj7 E
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Amaj7 E
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Amaj7 E
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
B
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 2]
E E/G#
It won't pay you to think that your move caused the break
Amaj7 E B
Sweet love has its chemistry, sometimes it don't take
E E/G#
and it sounds lke you whip yourself, it sounds like you hurt
Amaj7 E B
How long do you plan to sweat it in that mouldy hairshirt?
[Pre-chorus]
Amaj7 E B C#m
If you're thinking of coming back, then come back you will
Amaj7 E B C#m
If you're afraid of them talking, friend, They're all talking still
[Chorus]
Amaj7 E
It's old human nature,
Amaj7 E
It's cold or it's hot
Amaj7 E
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Amaj7 E
You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Amaj7 E
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
B
I'd say snow's what we've got.

You say it's snowin' in Brooklyn
Amaj7 E
Well if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
B
I'd say snow's what we've got.

[Verse 3]
E E/G#
It'll be cold as the ocean if you don't take the train
Amaj7 E B
But I hear if you know where you're going, You can beat half of the pain
E E/G#
So don't mind but I called your sister and she'd glad take you in
Amaj7 E B
You're thirty years old, admit pride doesn't win
[Pre-chorus]
Amaj7 E B C#m
Life moves so mysterious with its cute little spins
Amaj7 E B C#m
And it's everyone's koan and door to get in
[Chorus]
Amaj7 E
It's old human nature,
Amaj7 E
It's cold or it's hot
Amaj7 E
I think of you often,
Amaj7 E
I like you a lot
Amaj7 E
But if it's snowin' in Brooklyn
B
I'd say snow's what we've got.
[Outro]
Amaj7 E B C#m
cause it's everyone's secret and muttered refrain
Amaj7 E
and for all of our trouble
Amaj7 E
For all of our trouble
Amaj7 E
For all of our trouble
B
We be lonely again.
