Standard (EADGBE)

( x2)

Washington Square's right up the street.

That was the place where we would meet.

 Outside the dog run don't be late,

most of the time I'd sit and wait

 looking at people pass me by.

A customer's bagging his supply.

 Just when you thought she wouldn't show

there she comes running, don't you know

 Daylight's wasting

 Daylight

 And I can taste it

( x2)

as it falls from the sky

I had a band of certain fame,

the Brownstone Walk-Ups was our name.

The singer was fair but got it wrong,

he never did justice to my songs.

He did for me and that's a fact

when he went and stabbed me in the back.

So I've gotta do now, don't you know,

what I should've done five years ago.

Daylight's wasting

Daylight

And I can taste it

as it falls from the sky
