[Em] [Eb]
[Em] [Eb]
[Em] It's quiet now [Eb] and what it [Gm] brings [C] is everything
[Bb] Comes [Am]
[Em] calling back [Eb] a brilliant night.
[C] I'm still away.
[Gm] [C]
[Em] I
Looked ahead.
[Eb] I'm sure I saw you [C] there
You [Gm] [C]
[Em] don't need me to tell [Eb] you now
[C] Then nothing can [Gm] compare
[C] You
[G] might have laughed if I [D] told you
You [C] might have hidden [Am] your frown
You [G] might have succeeded [D] in change and me [C] I
Might have been turned [Am] around
It's [G] easy to leave them [D] to be left behind
[C] Leaving was never [Am] my frown
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy.
[C] I saw the light fading [Am] now
[C] [G] Life is sweet and [Eb] what it brings [C] I tried to take
[Gm] [Am]
[C] the [G] loneliness
It [Eb] wears me out
[C] It lies in wait
[Bb] [C]
[Em] And on I lost in my [Eb] shadow of neck was the cross you thought [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 material future get the past [C] with you
It's what [Gm] I feel
[C]
[G] You might have laughed if I [D] told you It's
[C] You [Am]
[G] might have succeeded [D] in change
I [C] might have been turned [Am] around
Shame [G] it's easier to leave than [D] to be left behind
[C] Leaving was never [Am] my frown
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy
[C] I saw the light [Am] fading now
[Em] You [Eb]
[Em] find it [Eb] in your heart, it's pulling [Em] me apart
Find it [Eb] in your heart
Shame [G] I've told you
Find it [D] in your heart, it's pulling [C] me apart
Find it [Am] in your heart, forever
[G] I've told you
Find it [D] in your heart, it's pulling [C] me apart
I've told you
Find it [Am] in your heart, forever
[G] You might have laughed if I [D] told you
It's pulling [C] me apart
You might have hidden [Am] the frown
[G] You might have succeeded [D] in change
I
[C] might have been turned [Am] around
[G] It's easy to leave than [D] to be left [C] behind
Leaving was never [Am] my frown
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy
It's pulling [C] me apart
I saw the light [Am] fading now Shame
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy
It's pulling [C] me apart
I saw the light [Am] fading now
[G] Leaving New York never [D] easy
It's pulling [C] me apart
