Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

A minorAm
We're eating cold Chinese
            FF    C majorC
Playing kids' games in Central Park
DmDm      G+G    E minorEm
And I know our days are numbered
      A minorAm       FF
But we're laughing in the dark.


Chorus:

 C majorC    G+G      A minorAm   FF        C majorC
And I'll miss those nights dancing in the middle of the street
     G+G    A minorAm    FF              C majorC
And I'll hold on tight if I thought we had a chance of keeping in the heat
DmDm    G+G     C majorC       DmDm   G+G      A minorAm
And in a different city we would make it through the fall
     DmDm   FF   C majorC       G+G      C majorC
But it's New York in September and I think we've lost it all

Verse 2:

DmDm       E minorEm          A minorAm
It's a lifetime in one hot Manhattan summer
            FF  C majorC
It's the view from a fire escape
        DmDm      G+G    E minorEm
I'm scared to leave but I'm scared to stay
A minorAm               FF
When this heat wavе finally breaks


Bridge:
      C majorC        A minorAm
And we're fighting in the grocery store
    G+G               A minorAm
And I love you but I don't know if I like you anymore
       G+G                    FF
And we're running through the city in an August thunderstorm
     A minorAm              G+G
And you drive me fucking crazy but at least im never bored
    C majorC        A minorAm   G+G         FF
In a world of endless summers you’d be mine and I'd be yours
      A augmentedA    A minorAm   E minorEm G+G       FF
But the sidewalk's cooling down now that was summer in New York (in New York)

Chorus:

    C majorC   G+G   A minorAm   FF       C majorC
And I miss those nights dancing in the middle of the street
     G+G   A minorAm     FF            C majorC
And I'd hold on tight if we had another chance of keeping in the heat
     C majorC            G+G          FF
In a different city we might have made it through the fall
      DmDm    G+G   A minorAm         C majorC   G+G
But it was New York in September and the writing's on the wall
A minorAm   DmDm    D MajorD   G+G       C majorC      FF
It was New York in September when we had and lost it all (Yeah you said)


Outro:

DmDm         E minorEm    G+G         A minorAm   FF   C majorC
You said you would keep me warm but now I'm pulling on a sweater
     DmDm   G+G   E minorEm   A minorAm    G+G         FF
But I've never known a colder month than New York that September
 DmDm            G+G        FF       C majorC
Yeah, I've never known a colder month than New York that September
