D7D7
On a night like this
You look up at your lover
It's like you're in some old cartoon
Then you detect
The scent of faded roses
Up in the sky
There's that cruel countermoon

G9G9
  Could that be murder you see in her eyes

Bm7Bm7               Bm7/F#  f/Ab
  You try a long and desperate kiss

G7G7       G9G9
  You can't escape it

           A7A7
That beam is sure to find you

           b4 a
   D7D7        D6D6 d
On a night like this

       C/FC/F
The story is told

    G7G7
How the women get restless

         D7D7
And the men grow cold

        D6D6 d
Gotham shudders

            C/FC/F
There's a chill in the air

     G7G7
There's a countermoon

      D7D7
Lovers all beware

Hand in hand
You walk along the river
You stop to clutch and caress
a countermoonbeam
Comes sweeping off the water
She says 'You're not my Jackie.
My Jackie was the best.'

G9G9
  Spitewaves are threatening
The seaside hotels

   Bm7Bm7        Bm7/F# f/Ab
It's nasty weather for July

G7G7
  Last night you loved her

  G9G9       A7A7
Tonight you wonder why
           b4 a
   D7D7       D6D6  d
