♫ Verse 1:
Bm            A          G              D
I watched you fly on the rides at Coney Island,
    G        D
The wind was biting,
    G           D
The sky was red burnt,
    G                D         Asus4
You looked just like birds overhead.

♫ Verse 2:
Bm           A          G      D
You took polaroids of a man proposing,
G              D
Everyone was applauding,
  G                  D
Arcade machines sang on,
   G               D            Asus4
As night turned to dawn then to light.

♫ Chorus:
Bm    A        G  D
I was weak and tired,
    G                  D
The night before was a blur,
    G              D
The taxi drove too fast,
    G               D           Asus4
The skyline rushing past our window,
   G           D
But oh! How we danced!
G              D
To the country band,
   G            D
We drank and we swayed,
         G                       D
You told everyone it’s your birthday,
        G              D
Then we walked home to Brooklyn,
    G               D
And both of us were freezing,
      G                   Bm7             Asus4
And I asked what you were doing with your life.


♫ Verse 3:
  G       Bm7          G              Bm7
I see you fading and I live across an ocean,
  G                 Bm7         G       Bm7              Asus4
I talked you out of staying but I don’t know when you’ll come back,
    G          Bm7  A    G             Bm7    A
You said don’t worry you don’t need anybody,
       G          Bm7            Asus4  A
You’re living out your dreams in New    York.


♫ Interlude:
  G       Bm7   A
Oooh oooh oooh, oooh,
G    Bm7   A
Oooh
G   Bm7   Asus4


♫ Outro:
    Gadd9*        Bm7*        Gadd9*               Bm7*
The sun came up behind us and everything turned to rust,
    Gadd9*        Bm7*        Asus4
And birds sang to us as we walked,
      Gadd9          Bm7
And I know you’ll be alright,
    Gadd9           Bm7
You say I can’t let things lie,
Gadd9  Bm7            Asus4
I know you’re right you’re right.
Gadd9*
