Is that supposed to be your poker face, or was someone run over by a train
And you were minding your own business, but you're begging for forgiveness just the same
     C majorC
And it's running back and forth inside your mind
           E minorEm             A minorAm
Just how that town defined you, dressed you up, painted your face
  G+G              DmDm C majorC       G+G   Riff (x4)
And now you're leaving New York,  for no better place

You're awake and trying not to be, wrapped around your pillow like a prawn
And the nighttime's wrapped around you, will be until it drops you on the dawn
From the C majorC train to the shiny tower, kicked around
Till happy hour found you, where you can drink that smirk right off your face
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place

  D MajorD              C majorC
And here is your reflection in a building uptown
 E minorEm            D MajorD
A augmentedA ghost inside some Madison Avenue display
   C majorC
Like water under bridges, you're slowly passing by
    A minorAm                D MajorD   Riff (x4)
As you sail between the rooftops and the sky

Solo:

And the bourbon sits inside me, right now I'm a puppet in its sway
And it may be the whiskey talking, but the whiskey says I miss you every day
So I taxi to an all-night party, park me in the corner in an old chair
Sip my drink and stare out into space
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place

Riff (repeat and fade)
