It's my third time in New York It's your fourth time in New York
We were [C#m] fifth, [E] sixth on the bill We talked [C#m] a little [E] about our band
Talked a little of our future plans It's not like we were best friends
Why, what can't you?
[A] But [E] now [F#m] the escape comes back to [A] me Times
[F#] beyond [F#m] our [E] day
We [C#m] hung around till [E] the final band All escape is at hand to the travel man
He yelled in my ear, this music speaks to me
They launched it alone, they flung rock and roll
Followed by they checked out an hour ago Closing with all desires turned concrete
[A] [E] But now [F#m] the day is coming back to [A] me Times
[F#m] beyond our [B] day
[E] Yes, I'm too slow Yes, [B] I'm too
[E] slow
He [A] said any [E] time of the [C#m] day was [B] fine He [A] said any time of [C#m] the night was [B] also [E] fine
I walked through your vaulted door Got no answer on the seventh floor
[E] Elevator, give it a little moan The pigeons sang a while with their way
Listened to the singing chamber maid She sang they checked out an hour ago
But now [A] the [F#m] day is coming back to [A] me Times
[F#m] beyond our [B] day
[E] Yes, I'm too slow Yes, [B] I'm too [E]
slow
He said any time of the [C#m] day [B] was fine He [A] said any [E] time of [C#m] the night [B] was also [E] fine
Heartbeat, heartbeat, [A]

heartbeat
I'm on conversation or I don't chit chat Maybe diving or maybe hanging back

I'm on conversation or I don't chit [A] chat [E] Maybe diving or maybe hanging back
