New York [F#] City gripped me [C#] like a big [F#] old machine
[C#] I went [F#] into one side, [D#]
landed [G#] in a dream
[C#] It stirred me up [F#] and made me shout
[C#] And sometimes I [F#] forgot about
[C#] The way the wind [F#m] blows in [D#m] and out of the [G#] cottonwood _ trees
[F] And oh, it's easy to [F#] _
lose your mind
_ [D#m] I might have lost mine [G#] if I _ hadn't found you _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#]
The avenues, [F#] the _ [C#] boulevards
_ [F#m] Businesses and _ [C#] schoolyards
Shopping [F#] malls and _ motorcars
[D#m] All in [G#] one scene
[C#] The lowest lows [F#] and the highest highs
[C#] The meanest noise [F#] and the lullabies
[C#] The poison and [F#m] the compromise
[D#m] The unspoken [G#] scream
[F] And oh, it's [A] so hard [F#] to find your place
[D#m] And I'd never have found mine
If [G#] I hadn't seen your face _
_ _ _ _ _
[C#] And you can be [F#] my _ [C#] basket
And I'll [F#] be _ _
[C#] blossomed, dearie
We [F#] can see the world [D#m] so _ _ [G#] _ clearly
[C#] You'll color [F#] the gray away
[C#] I will sing [F#] you songs all day
[C#] The decay will [F#] just turn to bloom
[D#m] As we look at the good old [G#m]
[C#]-fashioned _ [F#m] moon
[C#] Well, _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _
[D#] _ _ [D#m] _ [G#] _ _ _
[C#] New York [F#m] City [D#m] split me [C#] like a log in [F#] a mill
[C#] Half of [F#] me happy, [D#] the other half [G#] ill
But [C#] I feel myself [F#] a-warming [C#] to the old [F#] neon chill
[C#] I still feel [F#] a longing, [D#m] but it's chased [G#] by a thrill
[F] And oh, it's so hard [F#] to find your place
[D#m] I'd never have found mine
If [G#] I hadn't seen your face _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#]
And you can be [F#] my _ [C#] basket
And [F#] I'll be _ [C#] blossomed, dearie
We [F#] can see the world [D#m] so _ _ _ [G#] clearly
[C#]
You'll color [F#] the gray away
[C#]
I will sing you [F#] songs all day
[C#] The decay will [F#] just turn to bloom
[D#] As we look [G#] at the good old [C#]-fashioned moon
