Gm       Eb
1. The city streets are wet with rain tonight
   Gm       Eb
   Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
   Gm       Eb
   A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
   D  Gm  F C
   Midnight blues comin' through the walls
   
   Gm      Eb
   I tried to call you on the telephone
   Gm     Eb
   I left it off the hook just to hear it ring
   Gm       Eb
   You told me you were better off alone
   D       Eb
   I never knew that tears could stain

   Asm     E       F#       Asm
R: I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
   E    B   F#
   Lookin' down at all the cars
   A    E
   I can see you
   Asm             E      F#     Asm
   In the window of your favorite corner bar
   E          B         F#
   But to reach you is just too far
   A         E
   And I might as well be on Mars

   Gm  Eb
2. The city seems so old and grey and beat
   Gm  Eb
   It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
   Gm  Eb
   And you just live across the street
   D   Eb
   But that's a billion miles away

   Asm    E         F#       Asm
   You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
   E B F#
   Like a planet lost in space
   A  E
   My light is fadin'
   Asm     E F# Asm
   I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
   E          B     F#
   But I'm right in your backyard
   A E
   And I might as well be on Mars

   F#
*: I might as well be on Mars
   E     B
   You can't see me
   F#
   I might as well be the Man on the Moon
   E     B
   You can't hear me
   Ebm     Esus4   E
   Oh, can you feel me
   C#m       B        F#
   So close and yet so far
   A          Gm F# B
   Baby, I might as well be on Mars

   F
   Baby, I can't fly
   If I could I'd come down to ya
   Maybe I should try

R: I'm on the roof...

*: I might as well...
