[Intro]
G   Em   D   C   G
[Verse]
Sunday morning with the New York TimesEm  
The sun is shining in my penthouse suiteD  
My lady love laid down some linesC  
They reach from Culver Beach to Easy StreetG  
[Verse]
Before the mirror you apply your creamEm  
Cosmetic secrets of eternal youthD  
There's something the matter, it's just a bad dreamC  
I know you'd leave me if you knew the EmtruthG  
[Chorus]
I might as well be on MarsEm  
EmI might as well be on Mars
DOnly the stars mean anything to CyouG  
I might as well be on MarsEm  
EmI might as well be on Mars
DI'm already that far away from CyouAm  
[Bridge]
We lead such a sweet exEmistenceAm  
But I'm reaching out to you in EmvainAm  
You're disappearing in the Emdistance
Of this Dalien terCrainG  
[Chorus]
I might as well be on MarsEm  
EmI might as well be on Mars
DOnly the stars mean anything to CyouG  
I might as well be on MarsEm  
EmI might as well be on Mars
DI'm already that far away from Cyou
[Instrumental]
Am   Em   Am   Em  D  C   G
[Verse]
Monday night, another day goes byEm  
Your voice keeps telling me that life is sweetD  
I watch your star flash into the skyC  
Crash down to earth again on Easy EmStreetG  
[Chorus]
I might as well be on MarsEm  
EmI might as well be on Mars
DOnly the stars mean anything to CyouG  
I might as well be on MarsEm  
EmI might as well be on Mars
DI'm already that far away from CyouG

Sunday morning with the New York Times

The sun is shining in my penthouse suite

My lady love laid down some lines

They reach from Culver Beach to Easy Street

Before the mirror you apply your cream

Cosmetic secrets of eternal youth

There's something the matter, it's just a bad dream

Em G

I know you'd leave me if you knew the truth

[Chorus]

I might as well be on Mars

D C G

Only the stars mean anything to you

I might as well be on Mars

D C Am

I'm already that far away from you

[Bridge]

Em Am

We lead such a sweet existence

Em Am

But I'm reaching out to you in vain

You're disappearing in the distance

D C G

Of this alien terrain

[Chorus]

I might as well be on Mars

D C G

Only the stars mean anything to you

I might as well be on Mars

D C

I'm already that far away from you

[Instrumental]

Am Em Am Em D C G

[Verse]

Monday night, another day goes by

Your voice keeps telling me that life is sweet

I watch your star flash into the sky

Em G

Crash down to earth again on Easy Street

[Chorus]

I might as well be on Mars

D C G

Only the stars mean anything to you

I might as well be on Mars

D C G

I'm already that far away from you

[Chorus]

I might as well be on Mars

D C G

Only the stars mean anything to you

I might as well be on Mars

D C G

I'm already that far away from you
