Sunday morning with the New York Times
                                          D
The sun is shining in my penthouse suite
                                   C
My lady love laid down some lines
                                             G
They reach from Culver Beach to Easy Street

Verse:

Before the mirror you apply your cream
                                   D
Cosmetic secrets of eternal youth
                                                     C
There's something the matter, it's just a bad dream
                                      Em       G
I know you'd leave me if you knew the truth

I might as well be on Mars
Em
I might as well be on Mars
D                               C      G
Only the stars mean anything to you
                            Em
I might as well be on Mars
Em
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
                           Em
You're disappearing in the distance
        D        C       G
Of this alien terrain

I might as well be on Mars
Em
I might as well be on Mars

Em
I might as well be on Mars
D                              C
I'm already that far away from you

Monday night, another day goes by
                                                D
Your voice keeps telling me that life is sweet
                                      C
I watch your star flash into the sky
                                  Em      G
Crash down to earth again on Easy Street
