[Intro]
F C F C G
[Verse 1]
F
I'm jealous of the city
C G
The way you spend your nights with her
F
They say the girls are very pretty
C G
But 22's too young to get hurt
Am G C
And the snow is gently falling
Am G C
And there's presents on the floor
Am G C
But this plane is leaving tomorrow
[Chorus]
Dm C F G
New York handles heartbreak better than you
C F C F
Better than you, you, you
[Verse 2]
F
Jealous of the pavement
C G
The way you call the streets your home
F
No, I won't be negotiated
C G
I hope you feel this in your bones
Am G C
You swear you're tired and lonely
Am G C
But I hear she's hanging around
Am G C
You say it's love, then show me
[Chorus]
Dm F G
Cause New York handles heartbreak better than you
C F C F G
Better than you, you, you
[Verse 3]
Dm G
And I've been waiting up in a hotel room
Swear you're gonna leave her
Dm G
And every christmas time I think of you
Yes I do, yes I do
C
Remember we danced, you fumbled your steps
G Am
But said you'd never let go
G C
Remember we cried, for days at a time
Am
Oh baby why won't you come home
F G
Cause I've been waiting in New York patient for you
C C F C F C
Oh, for you, you, you
[Verse 4]
F
It tore me up inside
C F C
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
[I've been waiting]
F C
In those dirty hotel rooms
F C
[Waiting]
F C
The snow is on the pavements
F C
At Rockefeller, too
F C
[I've been waiting, waiting]
F C
Baby I ain't lonely
F Am
New York, New York
