#1.
Eb
Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
Abm E Eb
and ten-cent red roses from department store counters
Abm E Eb
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
beside where the trains cross the bridge and slow down
Abm E Eb
Trains with white letters on black iron sides
Abm E Eb
and wild rushing water that all rolls away
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay
Abm E Eb
Everyone's moving, with places to go
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb Abm
and Mr. Zero, he sadly stands still, as the water
E Eb
goes one way, the train goes another
Dbm Eb
Mr. Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't
Abm Bb Eb
bother
#2.
Eb
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as
Abm Gb E Eb
campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness
Abm E Eb
The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn
Eb Dbm Eb
Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone
Abm E Eb
Fast moving cars disappear down the highway
Abm E Eb
with signs that say, hitch-hikers, do not disturb
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
Mr. Zero looks quietly up from the curb
Abm E Eb
Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, and Little
Dbm Eb
Miss Someone is on her way home
Abm E Eb
Mr. Zero stands watching, her plane flies above
Dbm Eb Abm Bb
and with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love
#3.
Eb
Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday
Abm E Eb
and tapestry kittens that hung on the wall
Abm E Eb
They all die in the air like a soft minor chord
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
a vacancy sign, and a bulletin board
Abm E Eb
Mr. Zero is wrapping his jacket around him
Abm E Eb
speaking kind words that should have been said long ago
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
but Little Miss Someone does not want to know
Abm E Eb
The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf
Dbm Eb Dbm Eb
Mr. Zero sits lonely and talks to himself
Abm E Eb
It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed
Dbm Eb Abm Ab Gb Abm
the charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost
