#1.
Eb MajorEb
Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
  AbmAbm            E MajorE
and ten-cent red roses from department store
Eb MajorEb
counters.
AbmAbm           E MajorE       Eb MajorEb
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river..
 DbmDbm      Eb MajorEb        DbmDbm
beside where the trains cross the bridge and
   Eb MajorEb
slow down.
AbmAbm             E MajorE     Eb MajorEb
Trains with white letters on black iron sides..
  AbmAbm           E MajorE     Eb MajorEb
and wild rushing water that all rolls away.
  DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb      DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb
And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay.
AbmAbm           E MajorE     Eb MajorEb
Everyone's moving, with places to go..
  DbmDbm   Eb MajorEb  DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb      AbmAbm
and Mr. Zero, he sadly stands still..as the water
         E MajorE      Eb MajorEb
goes one way, the train goes another..
  DbmDbm      Eb MajorEb
Mr. Zero  stands still and Miss Someone don't
AbmAbm  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
bother.

#2.
Eb MajorEb
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as
AbmAbm     GbGb    E MajorE        Eb MajorEb
campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness.
  AbmAbm          E MajorE        Eb MajorEb
The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn,
Eb MajorEb           DbmDbm      Eb MajorEb
Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone.
AbmAbm         E MajorE        Eb MajorEb
Fast moving cars disappear down the highway,
   AbmAbm       E MajorE          Eb MajorEb
with signs that say, hitch-hikers..do not disturb..
  DbmDbm    Eb MajorEb   DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb
Mr. Zero looks quietly up from the curb.
AbmAbm          E MajorE      Eb MajorEb
Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, and Little
        DbmDbm    Eb MajorEb
Miss Someone is on her way home.
  AbmAbm     E MajorE             Eb MajorEb
Mr. Zero stands watching, her plane flies above,
     DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb             AbmAbm Bb majorBb
and with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love.

#3.
Eb MajorEb
Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday
  AbmAbm         E MajorE      Eb MajorEb
and tapestry kittens are hung on the wall.
     AbmAbm          E MajorE     Eb MajorEb
They all die in the air like a soft minor chord,
 DbmDbm   Eb MajorEb     DbmDbm   Eb MajorEb
a vacancy sign, and a bulletin board.
  AbmAbm         E MajorE    Eb MajorEb
Mr. Zero is wrapping his jacket around him,
     AbmAbm               E MajorE     Eb MajorEb
speaking kind words that should have been said long ago..
  DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb      DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb
but Little Miss Someone does not want to know.
  AbmAbm            E MajorE      Eb MajorEb
The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf,
  DbmDbm    Eb MajorEb     DbmDbm     Eb MajorEb
Mr. Zero sits lonely and talks to himself.
   AbmAbm             E MajorE       Eb MajorEb
It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed..
  DbmDbm       Eb MajorEb      AbmAbm AbAb  GbGb AbmAbm
the charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost.
