Verse 1:

F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Like a rat in a cage, pulling minimum wage
F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down


Verse 2: 

F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York you're safer, and you're wasting my time
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Our records all show you are filthy but fine
F                                           Dm    DmM7
But they shuttered your stores, when you opened the doors
F                                           Dm    DmM7
To the cops who were bored once they'd run out of crime


Verse 3: 

F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York you're perfect, please don't change a thing
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Your mild billionaire mayor's now convinced he's a king
F                                           Dm    DmM7
So the boring collect, I mean all disrespect
F                                           Dm    DmM7
In the neighborhood bars I'd once dreamt I would drink


Verse 4:

F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're freaking me out
F                                           Dm    DmM7
There's a ton of the twist but we're fresh out of shout
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Like a death in the hall, that you hear through your wall
F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're freaking me out


Verse 5: 

F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F                                           Dm    DmM7
New York I love you, but you're bringing me down
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Like a death of the heart, jesus, where do I start?
F                                           Dm    DmM7
but you're still the one pool where I'd happily drown


Bridge:  

F                                           Dm    DmM7
And oh.. take me off your mailing list
F                                           Dm    DmM7
For kids that think it still exists
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Yes, for those who think it still exists
F                                           Dm    DmM7

F                                           Dm    DmM7
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe you're right

And just maybe you're right
F                                           Dm    DmM7
And Oh.. maybe mother told you true
F                                           Dm    DmM7
And they're always be somebody there for you

F                                           Dm    DmM7
But maybe she's wrong, and maybe I'm right
F                                           Dm    DmM7
And just maybe she's wrong
F                                           Dm    DmM7
Maybe she's wrong, and maybe I'm right
F                                           Dm    DmM7
And if so, here's this song...
