Intro:
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're bringing me down
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're bringing me down
E
Like a rat in a cage
A Am
Pulling minimum wage
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're bringing me down
Chorus:
E
New York, you're safer
A Am
And you're wasting my time
E
Our records all show
A Am
You are filthy but fine
E
But they shuttered your stores
A Am
When you opened the doors
E
To the cops who were bored
A Am
Once they'd run out of crime
E
New York, you're perfect
A Am
Don't please don't change a thing
E
Your mild billionaire mayor's
A Am
Now convinced he's a king
E
So the boring collect
A Am
I mean all disrespect
E
In the neighborhood bars
A Am
I'd once dreamt I would drink
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're freaking me out
E
There's a ton of the twist
A Am
But we're fresh out of shout
E
Like a death in the hall
A Am
That you hear through your wall
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're freaking me out
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're bringing me down
E
New York, I love you
A Am
But you're bringing me down
E
Like a death of the heart
A Am
Jesus, where do I start?
E
But you're still the one pool
A Am
Where I'd happily drown
E A
And oh, take me off your mailing list
Am E
For kids who think it still exists
A
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Am
Maybe I'm wrong
E
And maybe you're right
E
Maybe I'm wrong
A Am
And maybe you're right
E
Maybe you're right
E
Maybe I'm wrong
A Am
And just maybe you're right
E
And oh
A Am
Maybe mother told you true
E A
And they're always be somebody there for you
Am
And you'll never be alone
E
But maybe she's wrong
E
And maybe I'm right
A Am
And just maybe she's wrong
E
Maybe she's wrong
E
And maybe I'm right
A Am
And if so, is there?
E
