#1.
Eb
Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains
  Abm            E
and ten-cent red roses from department store
Eb
counters.
Abm           E       Eb
Watching the moonlight reflect off the river..
 Dbm      Eb        Dbm
beside where the trains cross the bridge and
   Eb
slow down.
Abm             E     Eb
Trains with white letters on black iron sides..
  Abm           E     Eb
and wild rushing water that all rolls away.
  Dbm     Eb      Dbm     Eb
And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay.
Abm           E     Eb
Everyone's moving, with places to go..
  Dbm   Eb  Dbm     Eb      Abm
and Mr. Zero, he sadly stands still..as the water
         E      Eb
goes one way, the train goes another..
  Dbm      Eb
Mr. Zero  stands still and Miss Someone don't
Abm  Bb Eb
bother.

#2.
Eb
Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, as
Abm     Gb    E        Eb
campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness.
  Abm          E        Eb
The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn,
Eb           Dbm      Eb
Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone.
Abm         E        Eb
Fast moving cars disappear down the highway,
   Abm       E          Eb
with signs that say, hitch-hikers..do not disturb..
  Dbm    Eb   Dbm     Eb
Mr. Zero looks quietly up from the curb.
Abm          E      Eb
Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, and Little
        Dbm    Eb
Miss Someone is on her way home.
  Abm     E             Eb
Mr. Zero stands watching, her plane flies above,
     Dbm     Eb             Abm Bb
and with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love.

#3.
Eb
Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday
  Abm         E      Eb
and tapestry kittens are hung on the wall.
     Abm          E     Eb
They all die in the air like a soft minor chord,
 Dbm   Eb     Dbm   Eb
a vacancy sign, and a bulletin board.
  Abm         E    Eb
Mr. Zero is wrapping his jacket around him,
     Abm               E     Eb
speaking kind words that should have been said long ago..
  Dbm     Eb      Dbm     Eb
but Little Miss Someone does not want to know.
  Abm            E      Eb
The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf,
  Dbm    Eb     Dbm     Eb
Mr. Zero sits lonely and talks to himself.
   Abm             E       Eb
It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed..
  Dbm       Eb      Abm Ab  Gb Abm
the charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost.
