[E] Things were spinning round [Em] me, _ _ and all my thoughts were cloudy, [Bm] _ _ and I [A#] had begun to doubt
[A] all the things that were [E] me.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
_ Been [E] in so many places, [Em] you know I've run so many _ [Bm] races, and looked [Dm] into the empty faces
[A] of the people of the night, [F#] but something [E] is just [A] not right, and that's the reason [F#] that
I gotta get out of [A] here. _
I'm [F#] so alone, _ [A] _
don't you know [F#] that I gotta get [D] out of here, cause New York's [E] not my [A]
home.

So [G#m] all the streets are crowded, [Em] _
_ and [F#] there's something strange about [Bm] it.
I [E] lived there [Dm] about a year, and I never once [A] felt at [E] home.

telling you [A] that [A#] they were not the nice [A] kind, and it's been so [F#m] long since [E] I have felt [A] fine,
and that's the reason [F#] that I gotta get [A] out of here. _
I'm [F#] so alone, _ [A] _
don't you know [F#] that I gotta get [D] out of here, cause New [A] York's not my home.
