Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
D  A  2x

Verse 1:

D                        A
  I can't remember what I planned tomorrow

D                          A
I can't remember when it's time to go

       Bm
When I look in the mirror

        E                     E F# G
Tracing lines with a pencil
G
I remember what came before

Verse 2:

D                            A
  I wanted to think there was endless love

D                     A
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes

        Bm                        E
In the dead of the night I found out

E F# G                                      A
       Sometimes there's love that won't survive

Chorus:

D              A B C
New York City

C        G           D    A B C
Such a beautiful disease

G D              A B C          G      G A A# F
  New York City      Such a beautiful

Such a beautiful disease

Instrumental:

Verse 3:

D                     A
Laura kept all her disappointments

D                             A
Locked up in a box behind her closet door

     Bm                   E
She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder

E F# G                                   A
       With no way out from the family store

Verse 4:

D                            A
We all told her things could get better

D                     A
When you just say goodbye

     Bm                 E
I'll lay awake one more night

E F# G                               A
       Caught in a vision I want to deny

Verse 5:

D                     A
And did I mention the note that I found

D             A
Taped to my locked front door

Bm                     E
It talked about no regrets

E F# G                                          A
As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor

Verse 6:

D                    A
I rode the train for hours on end

D                             A
And watched the people pass me by

Bm                         E
It could be that it has no end

E F# G                        A
Just an action junkie's lullaby

Chorus:

D              A B C
New York City

C        G           D    A B C
Such a beautiful disease

  New York City      Such a beautiful

G                    D
Such a beautiful disease

Instrumental:
D  A  2x


Verse 7:

D                              A
We were full of the stuff that every dream rested

      D                       A
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky

Bm                         E
Caught up in the whole illusion

E F# G                            A
       That dreams never pass us by

Verse 8:

D                       A
Came to a tattooed conclusion

         D                    A
That the big one was knocking on the door

Bm                        E
What started as a mass delusion

E F# G                                     A
      Would take me far from the place I adore


Chorus:

D              A B C
New York City

C        G           D    A B C
Such a beautiful disease

G D              A B C          G      G A A# F
  New York City      You are my beautiful

G                    D
Such a beautiful disease
