Em                           B7 
It's been  so long since we talked till dawn 
C                           G 
Back when the train ran  on time 
Em               B7 
I can't remember when we stopped 
C                    D 
Seeing things eye to eye 
C                                G 
I'm sure that your reasons were fair 
C                         D 
And I acted like I didn't care 
        Em      B7       C          G 
But I'm sure as hell not doing that well 
      C               D          G 
Still hanging down in Cumberland Square 
Em                  B7 
I wonder where  you are tonight 
C                      G 
Did you move north or south 
Em                B7 
I know no one who knew you when 
C                                  D 
And there's no way I'll ever find out 
         C                G 
I used to meet you on the step right there 
          C                        D 
There was nothing that we wouldn't share 
Em              B7       C          G 
But I'm sure as hell not doing that well 
      C               D          G 
Still hanging down in Cumberland Square 

Em                   B7 
I love to think I'll quit this scene 
C                        G 
Maybe catch a bus out of town 
Em              B7 
I usually wish upon a star 
C                               D 
Every evening when the sun goes down 
         C                   G 
Tomorrow I could be with you somewhere 
        C                 D 
Leaning back in that easy chair 
           Em    B7        C        G 
It's gonna be alright just one more night 
C            D          G 
Down here in Cumberland Square 
          C               D          G 
I'm still hanging down in Cumberland Square
