Might As Well Be On Mars

Gm Eb

1. 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

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

I never knew that tears could stain

R: I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars

Lookin' down at all the cars

I can see you

In the window of your favorite corner bar

But to reach you is just too far

And I might as well be on Mars

Gm Eb

2. 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

But that's a billion miles away

You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place

Like a planet lost in space

My light is fadin'

I'd cross the universe to be right where you are

But I'm right in your backyard

And I might as well be on Mars

*: I might as well be on Mars

You can't see me

I might as well be the Man on the Moon

You can't hear me

Oh, can you feel me

So close and yet so far

Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Baby, I can't fly

If I could I'd come down to ya

Maybe I should try

R: I'm on the roof...

*: I might as well...
