Half Moon Cafe

   
D     A/C#     Bm7     E F#m G#m 
{intro; play four times} 
  
       D            A/C#    Bm7         E F#m G#m 
At the Half Moon Cafe, we drank to our lives 
     D          A/C#     Bm7    E F#m G#m 
Like pseudo-believers in love 
                       D            A/C#           Bm7 
We've been through our holes in the walls and the dives 
          Bm7                                 Bm   E 
Where you drink to recall what you once had a vision of 
  
       C#º        C#º       C#º   C#º 
And we talk of our lives in a prison 
          Bm             Bm/A       Bm/G#   E 
Though we both know it's better to be 
A           A/G      D     Bm7 
Safe within our indecision 
     A                     A     E   E F#m G#m 
Than taking the risk to be free 
  
And you were to be a great poet 
And I'd find my fame in song 
But we somehow saw failure more closely 
Than fame all along 
  
And now you manage a hamburger stand 
And I haven't found steady work yet 
And we meet here to talk and pretend 
That we know no regret 
  
                Dsus9       E                 A 
But how much is chance, how much would you decide? 
A           Dsus9         Dsus9    Gmaj9 
How much is murder of our dreams 
    Gmaj9      Bm   Bm   E   E 
How much is suicide? 
  
So you ask of my latest Top 40 
And I ask of your latest great fiction 
As I step outside I see that the moon is full 
I have to laugh at the contradiction 
  
Well, at least we can laugh at our dreams 
Though it's really much more bitter than sweet 
Sometimes through all of this fragmentation 
I imagine what it feels to be complete 
  
But how much is chance, how much would you decide? 
How much is murder of our dreams 
How much is suicide? 
  
{Repeat intro chords with humming; end on x02200-x02220.}
