Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Verse 1:
Gm
Don't wanna get outta bed
'Cause I know
C
That nothing has changed
F
I've got room to grow
Dm Gm
But you will always stay the same
C F
Immortalized in my brain
Gm
I’m stuck living in my head
'Cause it’s clear
C
The city makes me numb
F
And nobody’s sincere
Dm Gm
Sometimes, I wish I'd never come
C F
But it’s not much better where I'm from
Chorus:
F Dm
'Cause it rains in New York City
Gm F
Even though it's mid-July
F Dm
You’ve been dreaming of this moment
A
You’re so pretty when you cry
Am Gm
Realize life is not a movie
B flat
As the darkness fills your skies
Dm Gm
Thunder can't drown out your pity
C7 F
When it rains in New York City
Verse 2:
Gm
Don’t wear my heart on my sleeve
Cause I’ve learned
C
Each match you lit in me
F
I was bound to get burned
Dm G
Smoke-blinded, I couldn’t see
C F
Past streetlights to reality
Gm
Guess i’m just really naive
Too late
C
I’ll always care too much
F
And though I know it wasn’t fate
Dm G
I imagined the spark in every touch
C F
Even though you never felt the rush
Chorus:
F Dm
'Cause it rains in New York City
Gm F
Even though it's mid-July
F Dm
You’ve been dreaming of this moment
A
You’re so pretty when you cry
Am Gm
Realize life is not a movie
B flat
As the darkness fills your skies
Dm Gm
Thunder can't drown out your pity
C7 F
When it rains in New York City
Verse 3:
Gm
The streets here are always alive
At night
C
But no one’s really living
F
Spitting venom as we fight
Dm Gm
And I guess the world isn’t so forgiving
C F
You know I never cared about winning
Gm
Don't know how I could survive
It’s true
C
Who cares about Broadway
F
When I came here for you?
Dm Gm
But now there’s nothing left to say
C F
'Cause I’m not your reason to stay
Chorus:
F Dm
'Cause it rains in New York City
Gm F
Even though it's mid-July
F Dm
You’ve been dreaming of this moment
A
You’re so pretty when you cry
Am Gm
Realize life is not a movie
B flat
As the darkness fills your skies
Dm Gm
Thunder can't drown out your pity
C7 F
When it rains in New York City
