Verse
C#
I can't explain it
C#maj7
This yearning feeling
C#
There's no escaping
F#
Keeps creeping back in
F#m Fm7
'Round every corner
A#m7 D#m7
Every stone turned over
G#
Maybe I'm meant to be in
C#
New York
[Verse 2]
C#
There's someone out there
C#maj7
Inside the mirror
C#
Her plan is grand and
F#
Her mind is clearer
F#m Fm7
Behind the curtain
A#m7 D#m7
Living a life I want to
G#
Maybe I'm meant to be in
C#
New York
C#
New York
C#
New York
[Chorus 1]
F# C#
Oh, where the future's bright
G# F# C#
The grass looks so much greenеr under neon lights
F# Fm7 A#m7
Oh, wherе the seasons change
D#m7 G#
And everyone goes west to beat the cold
[Verse 3]
C#
The ground beneath me
C#maj7
Is always shaking
C#
The roads have cracks and
F#
The sidewalk's breaking
F#m Fm7
And should the big one
A#m7 D#m7
Send the palm trees falling
G#
I'd feel much safer out in
C#
New York
[Chorus 2]
F# C#
Oh, out there, I'll find myself
G# F# C#
See how all my things look on a different shelf
F# Fm7 A#m7
Oh, I will have my own place
D#m7 G#
And someone down the hall who also calls it home
[Outro]
C#
I can't explain it
C#maj7
This yearning feeling
C#
I didn’t choose it
F#
It didn’t choose me
F#m Fm7
'Round every corner
A#m7 D#m7
Every stone turned over
G#
Is telling me to go to
C# D#m7
New York
Maybe I'll find myself in
C# A#m7
New York
D#m7
Maybe I'm meant to be in
C#
New York
