Verse
E
I can't explain it
Emaj7
This yearning feeling
E
There's no escaping
A
Keeps creeping back in
Am G#m7
'Round every corner
C#m7 F#m7
Every stone turned over
B
Maybe I'm meant to be in
E
New York
[Verse 2]
E
There's someone out there
Emaj7
Inside the mirror
E
Her plan is grand and
A
Her mind is clearer
Am G#m7
Behind the curtain
C#m7 F#m7
Living a life I want to
B
Maybe I'm meant to be in
E
New York
E
New York
E
New York
[Chorus 1]
A E
Oh, where the future's bright
B A E
The grass looks so much greenеr under neon lights
A G#m7 C#m7
Oh, wherе the seasons change
F#m7 B
And everyone goes west to beat the cold
[Verse 3]
E
The ground beneath me
Emaj7
Is always shaking
E
The roads have cracks and
A
The sidewalk's breaking
Am G#m7
And should the big one
C#m7 F#m7
Send the palm trees falling
B
I'd feel much safer out in
E
New York
[Chorus 2]
A E
Oh, out there, I'll find myself
B A E
See how all my things look on a different shelf
A G#m7 C#m7
Oh, I will have my own place
F#m7 B
And someone down the hall who also calls it home
[Outro]
E
I can't explain it
Emaj7
This yearning feeling
E
I didn’t choose it
A
It didn’t choose me
Am G#m7
'Round every corner
C#m7 F#m7
Every stone turned over
B
Is telling me to go to
E F#m7
New York
Maybe I'll find myself in
E C#m7
New York
F#m7
Maybe I'm meant to be in
E
New York
