[Bridge]
C
You promised, I promised

I never knew I could be this selfish

Nights downtown, it's a new town

But I keep thinking I see your face in the crowd
C
But you're not here and you won't be
D Em Bm
Cause you love me enough to let go of me
[Chorus]
C D
New York City, please go easy on me tonight
Em Bm
New York City, please go easy on this heart of mine
C D
Cause I'm losing my lover to the arms of another
