      Em             D#                 C             Bb    Am7
It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything...
       Em             D#                    C          Bb    Am7
Comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake
    Em              D#             C        Bb     Am7
I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there
     Em              D#                   C              Bb    Am7
You don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare

G                            D
You might have laughed if I told you
 C                       Am
You might have hidden a frown
     G                        D
You might have succeeded in changing me
C                          Am
I might have been turned around
      G                      D
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
 C                     Am
Leaving was never my proud
  G                     D
Leaving New York never easy
C                       Am
I saw the lights fading out


Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take...
The loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in wait
And all not lost still in my eye, the shadow of necklace across your thigh
I might have lived my life in a dream, but i swear it, this is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass, mercurial future, forget the past
But it's you, it's what i feel.

You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)
You might have hidden a frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out

You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
                     D#
You find it in your heart, change...
   G                    D
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
   C                       Am
I told you ,I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
   G                    D
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
   C                       Am
I told you, I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)

You might have laughed if I told you (forever, forever,I told You, forever)
You might have hidden a frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out (change)
Leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out (change)
Leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out (change)
