♫ Verse 1:
A minorAm            FF
Another day where I wake up
               C majorC
with my heart pounding out my chest

But nothing’s happened yet
FF
It’s only eight am
A minorAm           FF
Another message I can’t seem
            C majorC
to find it in me to respond

And so you’re left on read
FF
And now I feel bad

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E7E7
I’m so very tired and I’ve
A minorAm       Bb majorBb  FF F minorFm
barely gotten out of bed

Here we go again


♫ Chorus:
C majorC       E MajorE
It’s too much effort
  A minorAm        FF
To smile and wave to people I hate
C majorC       E MajorE
It’s too much effort
  A minorAm          FF
To sip the champagne and stay

up too late
C majorC        E MajorE
Cuz I don’t even think she likes me
A minorAm        FF
And I don’t even think he’s listening
C majorC       E MajorE     A minorAm
It’s too much effort to survive
FF
The city life

C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF


♫ Verse 2:
A minorAm           FF
Another subway train I miss

and now I’m waiting for
   C majorC
What feels like another year
FF
To get me out of here
A minorAm           FF
Another party where I only know the host
      C majorC
And so I’m drinking up all my gin
FF
Just to do something


♫ Pre-Chorus:
E7E7
I’m so very tired and the
A minorAm      Bb majorBb   FF F minorFm
sun is now about to set

Here we go again

C majorC       E MajorE
It’s too much effort
  A minorAm        FF
To smile and wave to people I hate
C majorC       E MajorE
It’s too much effort
  A minorAm          FF
To sip the champagne and stay up too late
C majorC        E MajorE
Cuz I don’t even think she likes me
A minorAm        FF
And I don’t even think he’s listening
C majorC       E MajorE       A minorAm FF
It’s too much effort to survive


♫ Bridge:
C majorC
The stopping and talking
   E MajorE
when I’m tryna go
A minorAm         FF
Seeing someone I pretend

I don’t know
C majorC
Saying that you’d love
  E MajorE
to go grab a cup
A minorAm
But silently knowing you
FF
won’t follow up


♫ Chorus:
C majorC       E MajorE
It’s too much effort
   A minorAm       FF
But I smile and wave
C majorC       E MajorE
It’s so much effort
   A minorAm         FF
But I sip the champagne
C majorC        E MajorE
And I know she doesn’t like me
A minorAm       FF
And I know he’s never listening
C majorC       E MajorE      A minorAm FF
It’s so much effort to survive

But I love the city life


C majorC E7E7 A minorAm FF


♫ Verse 3:
C majorC          FF
Another sunset over water

sitting on the bench
 C majorC
I go to so I can cry
FF
And nobody bats an eye
C majorC          FF
Another cozy corner tavern
             C majorC
where the spirits run so high

Even when mine are low
FF
Always somewhere to go


♫ Outro:
E7E7
And I’m so very tired but
  A minorAm     Bb majorBb    FF F minorFm
the city never sleeps on me

So here we go
