Balcony - Clear Heart Full Eyes
Capo II
There was a Cparty at that high-rise up on EmHarmon
It was dead except a Amcouple people dancingG  
While our Ceyes were still adjusting to the Emdark her appetite was exAmpandingG  
The Fdude with the long fingernails I don't think that I trust him all that CmuchG  
It cost ten Fdollars just to get inside the building
It costs more to get in CtouchG  
I Cwent to the SA to get some Gcigs
I asked the doorman to remFember me
I looked Cup to see the moon and I saw Gyou and him out on the Fbalcony
It was the same thing that you Amdid to me
F       Am      F
Don't Cwant to be your old man
I want to Embe your new man another time all AmoverG  
I Cmiss the way your eyes they used to Emspark when you'd look over your AmshoulderG  
The Fdude with the long fingernails I think he's gonna take such good Ccare of youG  
I've seen him sFhave up at the library
I've seen him sleep behind the CCaribouG  
I Ctook the bus back uptown because I Gknew that it was over
I didn't Fneed to know the rest of it
I know the Clook. I know the lines
I know the lGaugh from back when we first Fstarted it
Such a drunk romantic Amgenesis
F       Am      F
Now we've really made a mess of this

C Cmaj9/B Am7 Cmaj9/G
I'll put your Cstuff out on the driveway
You can Emget it when you walk back through the Amwhite lightG  
I'll leave a Csandwich in your suitcase in case you're Emhungry 
When you come back from the Amhigh-riseG  
I hope your Fdude don't break his nails when he tries to help you carry all your CstuffG  
It costs ten Fdollars for a taxi. It costs a whole lot more to fall in CloveG  
I Cwent to the SA to get some Gcigs
I asked the bagman to remFember me
I looked Cup to see the moon and I saw Gyou and him out on the Fbalcony
It was the same thing that you Amdid to me
F       Am      F
It was the same thing that you did with me
