[F] [G] [C]
She came to me shortly [D] after Christmas [F] Said she [G] hated sporting [C] New Year's Eve
But the truth doesn't wait to [D] come in season And [F] what [G] we had feared was [C] now believed
She said she'd leave those [D] money moments [F] Catch a [G] plane if I'd [C] split the fare
She had friends who lived in New [D] York City [F] She'd look them up [G] and have the [C] baby there
And [F] now she's alone in New [C] York City [F] Living like Lord I [C] wonder how
[Am] An angel in hell in New [D] York City [F] But I [G] can't think about [C] that now
[D] [F] [A] [D] Honey will you tell him [E] Bible stories [G] And give him all [A] the love I never [D] could
And never tell him too much about [E] his daddy [G] Cause there's not [A] too much to say [D] that's good
He'll have to learn it all from [E] his mother [G] He'll have to count [A] and say his [D] ABC's
But when you're teaching prayers to say [E] at bedtime [G] Leave all God [A] bless daddy who won't [D] you please
[G] And now they're alone in New [D] York City [G] Living like Lord I wonder [D] how
[Bm] Two angels in hell in New [E] York City [G] But I [A] can't think about [D] that now
[Bm] [G]
I [A] can't think about [D] that now
She came to me shortly [D] after Christmas [F] Said she [G] hated sporting [C] New Year's Eve
