A# D# Am D Gm

[Verse 1]
F D#                                        A#
She'll be cleaning all the windows
F                            D#                     A#
Singin' songs about Edith Piaf's soul
F                       D#                            A#
And I hear blue strains of "No Regredior"
F                                     D#                        A#
Across the street from cathedral Notre Dame
F                       D#               A#
Meanwhile, back in San Francisco
F                     D#                              A#
I try hard to make this whole thing blend
F           D#                A#
And we sit upon this jagged
Cm                                    F
Story block, with you, my friend
              D#             A#
And it's a long way Buffalo
D#                                           A#
It's a long way to Belfast city, too
D#                                             A#
And I'm hopin' the Joyce won't blow the hoist
                         D#                                                   A#
'Cause this time, they bit off more than they could chew

[Chorus]

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

[Verse 2]
F D#                                  A#
All the orange boxes are scattered
F                                  D#                       A#
I guess the Safeway supermarket in the rain
F                 D#                   A#
And everybody feels so determined
F                     D#              A#
Not to feel anyone else's pain
F                D#           A#
No one makin' no commitments
F             D#               A#
To anybody but themselves
F              D#               A#
Talkin' behind closed doorways
Cm                                                               F
Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shell
           D#                A#
And for every cross country corner, country corner
D#                                                               A#
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cries
D#                                                        A#
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
                   D#                                 A#
And every strain on brain and every eye

[Chorus]
                  F                          D#
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
                  F                             D#
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

F                            D#                                A#
All the restaurant tables are completely covered
F                              D#                                    A#
And the record company has paid out for the wine
F                    D#                                      A#
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
F                                         D#                                   A#
And right about now, your face should wear a smile, do you know that?
F                   D#                    A#
That's the way it all should happen
F                    D#                                               A#
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in
F                            D#                            A#
Have you got your pen and notebook ready
                        Cm                                F
Think it's about time, time for us to begin
                      D#                                             A#
And meanwhile, we're over on a 52nd Street apartment
D#                                    A#
Socializin' with the winos too
D#                                                   A#
Just to be hip, and get wet with the jet set
                     D#                                                  A#
But they was flyin' too high to see my point of view

[Chorus]
                   F                            D#
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
                 F                              D#
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
         A#       Cm      A#
