[Em] [Eb]
[Em] It's quiet now, [Eb] and what it brings [C] is everything
[Bb] Comes [Am] [Em] calling back, [Eb] a brilliant night, [C] I'm still awake
[Bb] I [C] [Em] looked ahead, I'm [Eb] sure I saw you [C] there
You [Bb]
[C] [Em] don't need me to tell [Eb] you now, [C] that nothing can [Gm] compare
[C] You [G] might have laughed if I [D] told you, [C] you might have hidden a [Am] frown
You [G] might have succeeded in [D] changing me, [C] I might have been turned [Am] around
[G] It's easier to leave than [D] to be left behind, [C] leaving was never my [Am]
prowl
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy, [C] I saw the light fading [Am] out
[Em] Now life is [G] sweet, and [Gm] what it brings, [C] I tried to take
[Bb]
[Am] [C] But [G] loneliness, it wears [Eb] me out, [C] it lies in wait
[Bb] And [C] [Em] on our last day, I'll remember [Eb] the shadow of necklace across your thigh
[C] I might have lived my life in a dream, but I [Bb] swear, this is [Am] real
[Em] Memory fuses and shatters like [Eb] glass, and carry our future, forget the past
[C] But you, it's what [Bb] I feel
[C] [G] You might have laughed if I [D] told you, [C] you might have hidden [Am] a frown
[G] You might have succeeded [D] in changing [C] me, I might have been turned [Am] around
[G] It's easier to leave than to [D] be left behind, [C] leaving was never [Am] my prowl
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy, [C] I saw the light fading [Am] out
[Em] [Eb]
[Em] You find it [Eb] in your heart, it's pulling [Em] me apart
You find it [Eb] in your heart, change
[G] I've told you, ever, [D] I love you, it's over
[C] I've told you, I love you, [Am] I love you, but change
[G] You find it [D] in your heart, it's pulling [C] me apart
I've told you, I love you, [Am] I love you, but change
[G] You might have laughed if I [D] told you, [C] you might have hidden [Am] a frown
[G] You might have succeeded [D] in changing [C] me, I might have been turned [Am] around
[G] It's easier to leave than to [D] be left behind, [C] leaving was never [Am] my prowl
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy, [C] I saw the light [Am] fading out
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy, I [C] saw the light [Am] fading out
Leaving [G] New York never [D] easy, [C] I saw the light fading [Am]
