Verse 1
Well, the [D]moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I [G]wish you were around to see it [D]too
[Bm]I'm so happy I could cry, [A]
why'd you'd have to go and die like [G]that?
It's a [D]shame when people ain't around to see
The [G]smiles that they nurture, the [D]laughter they breed
These [Bm]people don't know me, and I [A]
don't plan on showing what [G]I've seen
And I [D]threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
She said, [G]"Boy, there ain't no real point in [D]helping ya"
The [Bm]only thing you've ever owned were
[A]high hopes and a pocket comb, you [G]fool
So don't [D]act like you know who I am
'Cause the [G]more I'll explain, the less you'll understand
Them [Bm]assholes downtown are the only [A]ones around that even [G]try
Chorus
So look up [Bm] [A]tonight
The moon, she's [G] [D]shining
And we'll be [Bm] [A]alright
'Cause she's still [G] [D]smiling
The [Bm]city lights'll blow mama's [A]mind
The more I [G]search, the less I [D]find
But I'm [Bm] [A]alright
'Cause she's [G]here [D]tonight
Oh, she's alright[Bm] [A] [G] [D]
Verse 2
And [D]I still recall the night you're heading home
You were [G]fighting so hard I knew you [D]couldn't be alone
Your [Bm]hand in my hand, I knew I [A]
had to be a man from that night [G]on
And I'll [D]tell you all these stories one day
And we'll [G]laugh like we used to and [D]waste the night away
You'll [Bm]say, "Boy, how I've missed ya,"
but [A]son, I was with you this whole [G]time
Chorus
So look up [Bm] [A]tonight
The moon, she's [G] [D]shining
And we'll be [Bm] [A]alright
'Cause she's still [G] [D]smiling
The [Bm]city lights'll blow mama's [A]mind
The more I [G]search, the less I [D]find
But I'm [Bm] [A]alright
'Cause she's [G]here [D]tonight
Oh, she's [Bm] [A]alright
She's [G] [D]alright
Oh, she's alright[Bm] [A] [G] [D]
Outro
[D]Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I [G]wish you were around to see it [D]too
[Bm]I'm so down that I could [A]cry, why'd
my best friend up and die [G]like that?
