C                                  Am
To know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you
Em                                 Bm
To know what it's like to love somebody the way I love you
C                                Am
To know how it feels to kill yourself with bad habits
Em                                 Bm
To know what you want, know you'll never truly have it


[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
Em                            Bm
New York City, please go easy on me tonight

C D Em Bm


[Verse 2]

C                          Am
When I went away, saw your face in my rear-view
Em                        Bm
I know that look on your face, that I had lost you


[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
Em                            Bm
New York City, please go easy on me tonight

C D Em Bm


[Bridge]

C
You promised, I promised
D
I never knew I could be this selfish
Em
Nights downtown, it's a new town
Bm
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
Em                            Bm
New York City, please go easy on me tonight
