Standard Tuning EADGBe
Here is a better and more simplified version of this really excellent song:
F - xx321x
Dm - xx0231
DmM7 - xx0221
Verse 1:
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F Dm DmM7
Like a rat in a cage, pulling minimum wage
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
Verse 2:
F Dm DmM7
New York you're safer, and you're wasting my time
F Dm DmM7
Our records all show you are filthy but fine
F Dm DmM7
But they shuttered your stores, when you opened the doors
F Dm DmM7
To the cops who were bored once they'd run out of crime
Verse 3:
F Dm DmM7
New York you're perfect, please don't change a thing
F Dm DmM7
Your mild billionaire mayor's now convinced he's a king
F Dm DmM7
So the boring collect, I mean all disrespect
F Dm DmM7
In the neighborhood bars I'd once dreamt I would drink
Verse 4:
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're freaking me out
F Dm DmM7
There's a ton of the twist but we're fresh out of shout
F Dm DmM7
Like a death in the hall, that you hear through your wall
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're freaking me out
Verse 5:
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F Dm DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F Dm DmM7
Like a death of the heart, jesus, where do I start?
F Dm DmM7
but you're still the one pool where I'd happily drown
Bridge:
F Dm DmM7
And oh.. take me off your mailing list
F Dm DmM7
For kids that think it still exists
F Dm DmM7
Yes, for those who think it still exists
F Dm DmM7
Outro:
F Dm DmM7
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe you're right
F Dm DmM7
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe you're right
F Dm DmM7
Maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong
F Dm DmM7
And just maybe you're right
F Dm DmM7
And Oh.. maybe mother told you true
F Dm DmM7
And they're always be somebody there for you
F Dm DmM7
And you'll never be alone
F Dm DmM7
F Dm DmM7
But maybe she's wrong, and maybe I'm right
F Dm DmM7
And just maybe she's wrong
F Dm DmM7
Maybe she's wrong, and maybe I'm right
F Dm DmM7
And if so, here's this song...
F
