Verse 1:
Am Fmaj7
It was great 'til it wasn't
C G
Summer nights on the Chelsea highland
Am Fmaj7
I pretend like it doesn't
C G
But it hurts from the cuts of your knife
Am Fmaj7
Now I can't even walk by the corner store
C G
Where we stumbled every weekend back to your front door
Am Fmaj7 C G
Watching all our favorite shows I can't watch no more, because of you
Pre-Chorus:
Am G C
It's the first place I ever loved right down to the last night
Fmaj7 Am C G
And it's the last place I'll ever fall in love for the first time
Chorus:
C Fmaj7
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
C Fmaj7
There's nothing left but the ruins of us in the street
Am G
The bar where I met you, apartment I left you
Fmaj7
If I only knew it'll change every view that I see
C G
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
Verse 2:
Am F
So I moved out to LA
C G
As far as away from you I could
Am F
Using sunshine for Band-Aids
C G
Thinking Fifth Ave is gone for good
Am F
Now nothing can replace memories in my head
Am F
And these karaoke songs I can't sing again
C G
And now I don't even talk to our same old friends, because of you
Pre-Chorus:
Am C G
It's the first place I ever loved right down to the last night
Fmaj7 Am C G
And it's the last place I'll ever fall in love for the first time
Chorus:
C Fmaj7
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
C Fmaj7
There's nothing left but the ruins of us in the streets
Am G
The bar where I meet you, apartment I left you
Fmaj7
If I only knew it'll change every view that I see
C G
Fuck you for ruinin' New York City for me
