Note : I realise that there are already tablatures for this song,
but I'm adding this one because it's a convenient way to play the song without
capo and in standard tuning. It takes a little work, but it's
not that difficult. Enjoy!

Guitar 1 Guitar 2
little kids playing in the park downtown 1.a (x8)
someone stares, watching from the side of the ground
i'm following my shadow, so i cross the street
car passing, stereo, i like the beat
1.a (x4) 2.a (x3)
1.b (x1) 2.b (x1)
open up the door, turning on the fan 1.a (x4)
dropping down the keys that i held in my hand
(and then start waiting...)
for her steps to be heard in the staircase 1.a (x6)
enter the room and let down her bag
asking me all kinds of trivial questions
pretending in everyday life we don't have,
pretending in everyday life we don't have,
pretending in everyday life we don't have
1.a (x4) 2.a (x3)
1.b (x1) 2.b (x1)
little kids playing in the park downtown 3 (x8)
soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down
little kids playing in the park downtown 4 (x4)
soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down
(and rises over...)
brooklyn bridge tomorrow 1.a (x6) 2.a (x6)
hours later, i will follow
wake up to a life that's hollow,
without love,
without love,
without love
(outro) This is changed for two guitars 1.a (x5) 2.a (x10)
ends on 11th time,
only "2,3,4" on E
(F#,G,G#)
