D7
On a night like this
You look up at your lover
It's like you're in some old cartoon            
Then you detect
The scent of faded roses           
Up in the sky
There's that cruel countermoon
G9                                    
   Could that be murder you see in her eyes
Bm7                             Bm7/F#    f/Ab
   You try a long and desperate kiss
G7             G9
   You can't escape it
                     A7
That beam is sure to find you
                      b4  a
     D7               D6  d 
On a night like this
             C/F  
The story is told
        G7
How the women get restless
                 D7
And the men grow cold
                D6  d
Gotham shudders
                       C/F                    
There's a chill in the air      
          G7
There's a countermoon
           D7
Lovers all beware
              
Hand in hand
You walk along the river
You stop to clutch and caress
a countermoonbeam
Comes sweeping off the water
She says 'You're not my Jackie.                 
My Jackie was the best.'
G9
    Spitewaves are threatening
The seaside hotels
     Bm7                Bm7/F#  f/Ab   
It's nasty weather for July
G7
    Last night you loved her
   G9              A7
Tonight you wonder why
                      b4  a
     D7              D6   d

G7
   At every pay phone
        G9
There's somebody cryin'
Bm7                                Bm7/F#   f/Ab
    All the streets are slick with tears
         G7
When you see that blue ray
          F13               F13-5
There's a heartquake on the way
