   A        D            A       D
At nightime I go out and see the people
A        D                 A     D
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
    E7                         D*
And dressing so sweet, all the people to see
        E7                     D*           Dmaj7
They're looking at me, all the people to see
    A          D          A    D
And when I set my eyes on you
A        D      A       D
You look like a kitty
A               D      A     D
And when you're in the moon
A      D       A      D
Oh you look so pretty
         E7                      D*
Caught a glance in your eyes and fell through the skies
E7                      D*                     Dmaj7
Glance in your eyes and fell through the skies

    A                D        A      D
I'm walking down the freezing street
A          D     A     D
Scarf goes out behind
A         D          A     D
You said, "Get them away"
A            D     A       D
Please don't say a word
        E7                  D*
"Get me out of here, get me out of here
  E7                   D*           Dmaj7
I hate it here, get me out of here"
   A        D            A       D
At nightime I go out and see the people
A        D                 A     D
Air goes cool and hurrying on my way
E7                       D*
Glanced in your eyes and fell through the skies
E7                      D*                     Dmaj7
Glance in your eyes and fell through the skies
