New York City Chords & Lyrics - Adrianne Lenker

[INTRO]
[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[G] [Cadd9] [Am] [D7]

[VERSE 1]
[G]New York City [Cadd9]gripped me like a [G]big old ma[Cadd9]chine
I [G]went into [Cadd9]one side and [Am]landed in a [D7]dream
It [G]stirred me up, and m[Cadd9]ade me shout
And [G]sometimes i [Cadd9]forgot about
The [G]way the wind blows [Cadd9]in and out with the [Am]cottonwood [D7]trees

[CHORUS]
And [B7]oh, its easy to [C]lose your mind
I [Am]might've lost mine if i [D7]hadnt found you [D7]

[VERSE 2]
The [G]avenues, the bou[Cadd9]levards, the [G]businesses and [Cadd9]schoolyards
[G]Shopping malls and [Cadd9]motorcars, [Am]all in one [D7]scene
The [G]lowest lows and the [Cadd9]highest highs
The [G]meanest noise and the [Cadd9]lullabies
The [G]poison and the [Cadd9]compromise
The [Am]unspoken [D7]scream

[CHORUS 2]
And [B7]oh, its so hard to [C]find your place
And i'd [Am]never have found mine if I had[D7]n't seen your face

[BRIDGE]
And [G]you can be my [Cadd9]Buster [G]Keaton, I'll be [Cadd9]Blossom [G]Dearie
We can [Cadd9]see the world so [Am]clear[D7]ly
[G]You'll cover the [Cadd9]gray away 'n [G]I will sing you son[Cadd9]gs all day
The [G]decay will just [Cadd9]turn to bloom as [Am]we look at the [D7]good old-fashioned [G]moon

[VERSE 3]
Well, [G]New York City [Cadd9]split me like a [G]log in a mi[Cadd9]ll
[G]Half of me [Cadd9]happy, the [Am]other half [D7]ill
But I [G]feel myself a war[Cadd9]ning to the [G]old neon [Cadd9]chill
I [G]still feel a l[Cadd9]onging, but its [Am]chased by a [D7]thrill

[CHORUS 3]
And [B7]oh, it's so hard to [C]find your place
I'd [Am]never have found mine, if I h[D7]adn't seen your face N.C.


[BRIDGE 2]
And [G]you can be my [Cadd9]Buster [G]Keaton, I'll be [Cadd9]Blossom [G]Dearie
We can [Cadd9]see the world so [Am]clear[D7]ly
[G]You'll cover the [Cadd9]gray away 'n [G]I will sing you son[Cadd9]gs all day
The [G]decay will just [Cadd9]turn to bloom as [Am]we look at the [D7]good old-fashioned [G]moon
