[Intro]
C G Am F C G
[Verse]
C F
I'm goin' back to New York City
C F
I just can't wait no more for you
C G
I got so lonely,
Am F
sold what you gave me
C G
'Cept that raincoat,
C
the famous blue
[Chorus]
F G
And I don't need time to think about it
Am G F
I don't let reminders get me down like before
F G
But you know I used to know you
Am G F
Back when local bars and broken hearts were home,
G C
and we were open all night long
[Solo]
C G Am F C G
[Verse]
C F
Maybe I'll go out Chicago
C F
Ain't that where the blues belong?
C G
I heard you came by,
Am F
shook up by the radio
C G
Somethin' about the topback,
C
wayfarers on
[Chorus]
F G
And I don't need time to think about it
Am G F
I don't let reminders get me down like before
F G
But you know I used to know you
Am G F
Back when local bars and broken hearts were home,
G C
and we were open all night long
[Solo]
C G Am F C G
[Bridge]
Am G
And all this must've been comin' a long, long time,
F C
29 years of nerves on fire
Am G
Nobody came and nobody saw,
F
made a wreck of myself with the headlights on
Am G
Worked these hands straight down the bone,
F C
carried the weight until the weight took over
G G7
Ended up standing at a fork in the road with you
[Chorus]
F G
But I don't need time to think about it
Am G F
I don't let reminders get me down like before
F G
But you know I used to know you
Am G F G
Back when local bars and your crooked heart was my home, mmhmm...
[Outro]
C G Am F
And I will never know the town where you finally settled down
C G Am F
With the top back on a Cadillac and your sunglasses on
C G Am F
And you can't make me whole, I have to find that on my own
C G Am F C
But I held you, babe, a long, long time ago, and we were open all night long.
