verse 1 

C                         G      
Oh Billy stares at Cherry in the hall 
    C                          F 
And walks out into the rain so blessed and tall 
C                                      G  
Standin' on the corner with a gun underneath his coat 
 F                        G 
Beneath the stars on the street 
C                  G  
Oh on Lexington Avenue they stand 
C                F 
Velvet aces they case the promised land 
C                       G  
Reachin' out across the hoods with both hands 
F                     G 
Oh, tryin' to catch a ride 

              C      Am      F            G 
Tonight we're lovers in the cold, oh, oh, oh 
                 C          Am      F            G 
Running past the graveyards in the snow, no, no, no 
               C             Am          F        G 
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh 
         F                       G 
And it's no, no, no, no, no, no, no

verse 2 

           C                      G 
Oh and the getaway driver waits outside the store 
C                     F 
He pulls away just as Billy runs out the door 
C                   G        F          G 
Oh and Billy won't run anymore, no, no, no 
C                        G 
Oh baby I can't lay the stars at your feet 
          C                                F 
Oh but I think we could take it all, just you and me 
C                                 G 
Oh come on, you'll see, there's a lot of room 
    F                       G 
For you baby, in this front seat 

              C      Am       F            G 
Tonight we're lovers on that road, oh, oh, oh 
                 C          Am     F             G 
Running past the graveyards in the snow, oh, oh, oh 
               C            Am         F          G 
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh 
         F                        G 
And it's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

                 C           F        G 
Running past the graveyards, no, no, no 
               C             Am       F            G 
Walking in the street with nowhere to go, oh, oh, oh

And it's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
