Verse
A
I can't explain it
Amaj7
This yearning feeling
A
There's no escaping
D
Keeps creeping back in
Dm C#m7
'Round every corner
F#m7 Bm7
Every stone turned over
E
Maybe I'm meant to be in
A
New York
[Verse 2]
A
There's someone out there
Amaj7
Inside the mirror
A
Her plan is grand and
D
Her mind is clearer
Dm C#m7
Behind the curtain
F#m7 Bm7
Living a life I want to
E
Maybe I'm meant to be in
A
New York
A
New York
A
New York
[Chorus 1]
D A
Oh, where the future's bright
E D A
The grass looks so much greenеr under neon lights
D C#m7 F#m7
Oh, wherе the seasons change
Bm7 E
And everyone goes west to beat the cold
[Verse 3]
A
The ground beneath me
Amaj7
Is always shaking
A
The roads have cracks and
D
The sidewalk's breaking
Dm C#m7
And should the big one
F#m7 Bm7
Send the palm trees falling
E
I'd feel much safer out in
A
New York
[Chorus 2]
D A
Oh, out there, I'll find myself
E D A
See how all my things look on a different shelf
D C#m7 F#m7
Oh, I will have my own place
Bm7 E
And someone down the hall who also calls it home
[Outro]
A
I can't explain it
Amaj7
This yearning feeling
A
I didn’t choose it
D
It didn’t choose me
Dm C#m7
'Round every corner
F#m7 Bm7
Every stone turned over
E
Is telling me to go to
A Bm7
New York
Maybe I'll find myself in
A F#m7
New York
Bm7
Maybe I'm meant to be in
A
New York
