[Intro]
Dm F5/C Bdim
Dm F5/C Bdim
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim D
[Verse 1]
D D/E D/F# Am
I wake up
G D
I’m amazed that it is morning
Wait for my first cup of
F5 C/E D
Medicinal coffee to percolate
D/E D/F# Am
Turn on the news
G D
I’m amazed the world’s still spinning
But since it is I guess I
F5 C/E
Still have to go to work today
Dm F5/C Bdim
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim D
D D/E D/F# Am
Get ready to go
G D
Gotta make myself look half presentable
After a late night in the
F5 C/E D
City that don’t sleep
D/E D/F# Am
Because I know
G D
This job makes these four walls just rentable
F C/E D
In a city that ain’t cheap
D/E D/F# Am
Walk out the door
G D
I’m not on time, but I’m all right
F C/E D
If I move real fast I might recover
Walk across the street
Am
Like I live life
G
One bit at a time
D
I put one foot in front of the other in front
F C/E Dm
Of the other in front of the other
F5/C Bdim
And it’s an ordinary street
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
F5/C Bdim
At the beginning of an ordinary week
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
The lights are green
Dm/C
The lights are red
Bdim
And I cross the crosswalk
Bdim/G
In the crosstalk
Bb F
Of another busy day in New York City
F/G F/A Dm
[Chorus]
Dm C G
And sometimes I feel
Dm
That it’s more than I can take
C G
And sometimes I fear
Bb
That I won’t be able to fake
The smile I wear
F
To match my well-ironed business casual
Bb
But if I fall apart today
A7
It’ll just be business as usual
Dm F5/C Bdim
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim D
[Verse 2]
D D/E D/F# Am
I make my way
G D
Through a sea of suits and ties and frowns
F C/E D
On their way to something more important
They’re on their phones
Am
In worried tones
G D
Talking to a man about a plan to run a scam
F C/E D7
To make a fortune
D D7 D Asus Am
Tripping over cameras wearing tourists
Gsus G G/D D
Taking pictures of the fire station
G/D D Fadd6
To show the folks back home
Cadd2/E D7
Woah
D D7 D
Tripping over my own two feet
Asus Am Gsus
As I leave the street for the stairs
G
To the station
G/D D
Through the turnstile
G/D
To the platform edge
D Fadd6 Cadd2/E Dm
Of the world below
F5/C Bdim
And it’s an ordinary train
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
F5/C Bdim
At the beginning of an ordinary day
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
The doors open
F5/C
The doors shut
Bdim
And I’m on my way
Bdim/G
On an Uptown A
Bb
To spend another hard-earned day
F F/G F/A Dm
In New York City
[Chorus]
Dm C G
And sometimes I feel
Dm
That it’s more than I can take
C G
And sometimes I fear
Bb
That there’s just too much at stake
F
When the status quo is to
Just get by
Bb
And with every passing day
A7 Bb
I wonder how much harder I can try
[Bridge]
Bb F C
And I love New York City
F F/A F/C Bb
Don’t get me wrong
F C F F/A Bb
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
F C
Yes I love New York City
F F/A F/C Bb
But sometimes I don’t know
F A7 A7/G A7/F Dm
If it loves me
D5 Dsus D5 Dsus
Am/C C5 Am/C C5
Bm7 G/B Bm7 G/B
BbM7 Gm/Bb
Bb5 Gm/C D5/C D5
Dm Dm/C

Bdim/A Bdim/G
Dm/F C/E Bdim/D
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
[Verse 3]
Dm F5/C Bdim
It’s an ordinary morning
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
F5/C Bdim
And at least it’s never boring
Bdim/G Bdim/A Bdim Dm
The people come
F5/C
The people go
Bdim
And you either find yourself
Bdim/G
Or you lose yourself
Bb
Between the hustle and the bustle
F Dm/A Dm/G Dm/F Dm
Of this city
[Chorus]
Dm C G
And sometimes I feel
Dm
That it’s more than I can take
C G
And sometimes I fear
F C/E D7
That I won’t be able to make it one more day
[Outro]
G7
Oh but I will
Eb7 D7
‘Cause I’m in love
G7 A7
Yes I’m in love With New York City
