[Verse 1]

D          D/E  D/F#  Am
I wake up

      G                D
I’m amazed that it is morning

Wait for my first cup of

  F5                 C/E       D
Medicinal coffee to percolate

                  D/E  D/F#  Am
Turn on the news

      G                       D
I’m amazed the world’s still spinning


But since it is I guess I

F5                   C/E
Still have to go to work today

Dm  F5/C  Bdim

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  D


D                D/E  D/F#  Am
Get ready to go

              G                 D
Gotta make myself look half presentable


After a late night in the

F5               C/E   D
City that don’t sleep

                D/E  D/F#  Am
Because I know

               G                      D
This job makes these four walls just rentable


                     F        C/E  D
In a city that ain’t   cheap

                   D/E  D/F#  Am
Walk out the door

            G                 D
I’m not on time, but I’m all right

                              F      C/E  D
If I move real fast I might recover

Walk across the street

             Am
Like I live life

              G
One bit at a time

           D
I put one foot in front of the other in front

        F                     C/E   Dm
Of the other in front of the other

             F5/C     Bdim
And it’s an ordinary street

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  Dm

          F5/C          Bdim
At the beginning of an ordinary week

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  Dm

The lights are green

               Dm/C
The lights are red

                 Bdim
And I cross the crosswalk

        Bdim/G
In the crosstalk

    Bb                          F
Of another busy day in New York  City

F/G  F/A  Dm


[Chorus]

Dm        C       G
And sometimes I feel

                            Dm
That it’s more than I can take

         C       G
And sometimes I fear

                         Bb
That I won’t be able to fake

The smile I wear

            F
To match my well-ironed business casual

         Bb
But if I fall apart today

              A7
It’ll just be   business as usual

Dm  F5/C  Bdim

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  D


[Verse 2]

D              D/E  D/F#  Am
I make my way

                   G                 D
Through a sea of suits and ties and frowns

                                  F     C/E  D
On their way to something more important

They’re on their phones

            Am
In worried tones

              G           D
Talking to a man about a plan to run a scam

           F      C/E  D7
To make a fortune

D              D7  D           Asus  Am
Tripping over cameras wearing tourists

        Gsus  G         G/D  D
Taking pictures of the fire station

    G/D  D                 Fadd6
To show    the folks back home

 Cadd2/E  D7
Woah

D                 D7  D
Tripping over my own two feet

    Asus    Am                  Gsus
As I   leave the street for the stairs

   G
To the station

             G/D  D
Through the turnstile

                 G/D
To the platform edge

    D           Fadd6  Cadd2/E  Dm
Of the world below

             F5/C     Bdim
And it’s an ordinary train


Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  Dm

          F5/C          Bdim
At the beginning of an ordinary day

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  Dm


The doors open

          F5/C
The doors shut

               Bdim
And I’m on my way

              Bdim/G
On an Uptown A

          Bb
To spend another hard-earned day

            F       F/G  F/A  Dm
In New York   City


[Chorus]

Dm       C       G
And sometimes I feel

                           Dm
That it’s more than I can take

         C       G
And sometimes I fear

                               Bb
That there’s just too much at stake

                           F
When the status quo is to

Just get by

         Bb
And with every passing day

         A7                         Bb
I wonder how much harder I can try


[Bridge]

Bb     F           C
And I love New York  City

F     F/A  F/C Bb
Don’t get  me  wrong

                F               C  F  F/A  Bb
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be

      F            C
Yes I love New York   City

         F    F/A F/C   Bb
But sometimes I   don’t know

    F        A7  A7/G  A7/F  Dm
If it loves me

[Verse 3]

Dm       F5/C    Bdim
It’s an ordinary morning

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  Dm

        F5/C             Bdim
And at least it’s never boring

Bdim/G  Bdim/A  Bdim  Dm

The people come

           F5/C
The people go

                Bdim
And you either find yourself

    Bdim/G
Or lose yourself

            Bb
Between the hustle and the bustle

       F       Dm/A  Dm/G  Dm/F  Dm
Of this  city


[Chorus]

Dm       C       G
And sometimes I feel

                           Dm
That it’s more than I can take

        C        G
And sometimes I fear

                        F      C/E        D7
That I won’t be able to make it one more day


[Outro]

          G7
Oh but I will

               Eb7  D7
‘Cause I’m in love

            G7        A7
Yes I’m in love With New York City
