Ist Verse
G#m E
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
G#m E
The taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
G#m E
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
Eb7 |G#m F#|C#|
Midnight blues comin' through the walls
2nd verse
G#m E
I tried to call you on the telephone
G#m E
I left it off the hook just to hear it ring
G#m E
You told me you were better off alone
Eb7 E
I never knew that tears could stain
1st Chorus
Am F G Am
I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
F C G
Lookin' down at all the cars
Bb F
I can see you
Am F G Am
In the window of your favorite corner bar
F C G
But to reach you is just too far
Bb F
And I might as well be on Mars
3rd verse
G#m E
The city seems so old and grey and beat
G#m E
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
G#m E
And you just live across the street
Eb7 E
But that's a billion miles away
2nd Chorus
Am F G Am
You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
F C G Bb F
Like a planet lost in space, my light's fadin'
Am F G Am
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
F C G
But I'm right in your backyard
Bb F
And I might as well be on Mars
G
I might as well be on Mars
F C
You can't see me
G
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
