verse

Gm					Eb

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



Chorus

G#m 			    E       F#       G#m

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

G#m         		    E	      F#     G#m

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

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

















G#m				    E  	       F#       G#m

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'

G#m			     E		F#	G#m

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



Bridge

                                   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
