New York Summer chords by Louisa Melcher

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

Am
We're eating cold Chinese
                       F       C
Playing kids' games in Central Park
Dm            G        Em
And I know our days are numbered
           Am             F
But we're laughing in the dark.


Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

Dm              Em                    Am
It's a lifetime in one hot Manhattan summer
                       F    C
It's the view from a fire escape
               Dm            G       Em
I'm scared to leave but I'm scared to stay
Am                             F
When this heat wavе finally breaks


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


Chorus:

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


Outro:

Dm                 Em       G                 Am     F      C
You said you would keep me warm but now I'm pulling on a sweater
          Dm     G      Em     Am        G                 F
But I've never known a colder month than New York that September
  Dm                       G                F              C
Yeah, I've never known a colder month than New York that September
