New York Handles Heartbreak Better

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
