[Verse 1]
How [G]many [D]caps in New York City?
[Am]How many angels [C]on a pen?
[G]How many [D]notes in a saxophone?
[Am]How many tears in a [C]bottle of gin?
[G]How many [D]times have
you called my name?
[Am]Knock at the door but you
[C]couldn't get [G]in
[D]I k[C]now I've[G] been[D] careless
[C]I'v[G]e been wra[D]pped up in a shell
Noth[Am]ing could get [C]through to me
Act[G]ing [D]like I didn't know
[Am]I have friends and fam[C]ily
[G]I saw w[D]orry in their eyes
Did[Am]n't look like f[C]ear to m[G]e[D][Am]
[C]I know I[G]'ve b[D]een care[Am]less,
[C]I l[G]ost[D] my tend[Am]erne[C]ss[G]
[D]I've been car[Am]eless,
[C]I t[G]ook[D] back ca[Am]re of[C] this
[G]I'm an exile across the [D]line
Like the hands of a clock
that are stuck in time
Your feelings are [Am]paid, no, never mind
Yeah, [D]it's true, [Am]man, I lost my tenderness
Oh, how insensitive it must [D]have seemed
Like a black hole that swallowed me
[Am]Like a black [D]dog that followed me home
I've been down, so now [Am]you know[G][D][Am]
[C][G][D][Am][C][G][D]
[Am][C][G][D][Am][C]
[G]Like a [D]mixture in a bottle
[Am]Like a frozen [C]overlay
[G]Like a [D]long time painted smile,
I [Am]got so hard I [C]had to cry
[G]You [D]were there, you held the line,
[Am]you're the one that [C]brought
me [G]back[D][Am]
I [C]know [G]I've [D]been car[Am]eless
[C]I l[G]ost[D] my tender[Am] lip[C]s
[G]I've [D]been car[Am]eless[C][G]
[D]I took bad[Am] car[C]e of this
[G]How many [D]cabs in New York City?
[Am]How many angels [C]on a pin?
[G]How many notes in a [D]saxophone?
[Am]How many tears in [C]a bottle of gin?
[G]How many [D]times have
you called my name?
[Am]Knock at the door but you
[C]couldn't get in
[G]How many [D]stars in the Milky Way?
[Am]How many ways can you
[C]lose a friend?
[G]I'm in love, [D]I'm in lov[Am]e, I'm[C] love
[G]I'm [D]in [Am]love,[C] I[G]'m in [D]love,[Am]
[C]I'm[G] in [D]love[Am][C][G]
Thanks very much
This next one is, I figured,
since we're in Melbourne,
I had to rep my hometown,
and it's a song called Sydney from a 727,
and we're to send this one out
to Kevin Sheedy
Me too, man.
Thank you. Thank you.
