♫ Chorus:
B minorBm  A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
I was weak and tired,
  G+G         D MajorD
The night before was a blur,
  G+G       D MajorD
The taxi drove too fast,
  G+G        D MajorD      Asus4Asus4
The skyline rushing past our window,
  G+G      D MajorD
But oh! How we danced!
G+G       D MajorD
To the country band,
  G+G      D MajorD
We drank and we swayed,
     G+G            D MajorD
You told everyone it’s your birthday,
    G+G       D MajorD
Then we walked home to Brooklyn,
  G+G        D MajorD
And both of us were freezing,
   G+G          Bm7Bm7       Asus4Asus4
And I asked what you were doing with your life.

 G+G    Bm7Bm7     G+G       Bm7Bm7
I see you fading and I live across an ocean,
 G+G         Bm7Bm7     G+G    Bm7Bm7       Asus4Asus4
I talked you out of staying but I don’t know when you’ll come back,
  G+G     Bm7Bm7 A augmentedA  G+G       Bm7Bm7  A augmentedA
You said don’t worry you don’t need anybody,
    G+G     Bm7Bm7      Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
You’re living out your dreams in New  York.

Oooh

The sun came up behind us and everything turned to rust,
  Gadd9*    Bm7*    Asus4Asus4
And birds sang to us as we walked,
   Gadd9Gadd9     Bm7Bm7
And I know you’ll be alright,
  Gadd9Gadd9      Bm7Bm7
You say I can’t let things lie,
Gadd9Gadd9 Bm7Bm7      Asus4Asus4
I know you’re right you’re right.
Gadd9*
