Verse 1
E                 A  E 
I can see the city    written in your face 
 
Freckles spread like constellations all over the place 
           A 
Darling, I walked you to the station 
                              E    A  E 
Shooting with my heart on my sleeve 
          B                              A                              E   A  E 
Now I'm staring at your photograph and hoping you ain't made a fool of me 
 
Pre-Chorus
                E                A        E 
So if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight 
                                    A      E 
When you're on your own beneath the lonely lights 
    B             A 
Oh, darling, if I ever cross your mind 
                 E     A  E 
Won't you let me know?

Oh, it's hard to be alone 
 
Verse 2
             B            E         A 
Moved to the big city and called it home 
           B                E      A 
Oh, what a crowded place to live alone 
          B               E       A 
She was a choir girl when we were young 
             G# 
What have we done? 
             A 
What have we done?
