[Intro 1]
[E]
[Verse 1]
[E] I've known it from the very start
[C#m] We're a shot in the darkest dark
[A] Oh no, oh no, I'm unarmed
[E] The waiting is a sadness
[C#m] Fading into madness
[A] Oh no, oh no, it won't stop
[Pre-Chorus 1]
[A] I'm standin' on a t[E]tightrope al[B]alone
I hold my breath a little bit l[A]longer
Halfway out the d[E]door, but it won't cl[B]close
I'm holdin' out hope for you to [A]say, [E]"Don't[B]"Don't go"
I would stay forever if you[A] say,[E] "Don't[B] go"
[Chorus 1]
[A] Why'd you have to lead me [E]on?
Why you'd have to twist the kn[B]knife?
Walk away and leave me bleedin', bleedin'?
[A] Why'd you whisper in the d[E]dark
Just to leave me in the n[B]night?
Now your silence has me screamin', screamin'
[A] Say,[E]Say, "Don't,[B]"Don't, go"
I would stay forever if you[A] say,[E] "Don't,[B] go"
[Outro 1]
But you w[A]on't, but you w[E]on't, but you w[B]on't
So I'll g[A]o, I'll g[E]o, So I'll g[B]o
To New Y[E]York
[Intro 2]
[E] [B] [A] [(x4)]
[Verse 2]
W[E]Walking through a c[B]crowd the village [A]is aglow
Kal[E]Kaleidoscope of l[B]loud heartbeats [A]under coats
[E]Everybody h[B]here wanted s[A]something more
[E]Searching for a s[B]sound we hadn't h[A]heard before
[Chorus 2]
And it said: W[E]Welcome to New Y[B]York, [A] it's been waiting for you
W[E]Welcome to New Y[B]York, welcome [A]to New York
W[E]Welcome to New Y[B]York, [A] it's been waiting for you
W[E]elcome to New Y[B]ork, welcome t[A]o New York
[E] It's a new soundtr[B]soundtrack
I could dance to this b[A]beat, beat
Forever [C#m]more
The lights are so br[B]bright
But they never blind [A]me, me
W[E]elcome to New Y[B]ork,[A] it's been waiting for you
W[E]elcome to New Y[B]ork, welcome t[A]o New York

[E] [B] [C#m] [A]
[Verse]
[E] The dr[B]ought was the very wors[C#m]t, A[A]-ah A-ah
[E] When the fl[B]owers that we'd gr[C#m]own together di[A]ed of thirst
[E] It was mo[B]months, and months of back and for[C#m]forth, [A]A-ah A-ah
[E] You're still all [B]over me like a
w[C#m]wine-stained dress I can't w[A]wear anymore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
H[B]ung my head, as I l[A]ost the war,
and sk[B]y turned to black like a p[A]erfect storm
[Chorus 3]
R[E]ain came po[B]uring d[C#m]own when I was drowning
Th[A]That's when I could finally bre[E]breathe
And by m[B]orning, g[C#m]one was any trace
of you, I[A] think I am finally cle[E]an
Said I[B]I think I am finally cl[C#m]clean, [A]I think I am finally cl[E]ean
[B]A-ah A-ah, A-ah A-ah,A-ah[C#m]A-ah,A-ah A-ah [A]
[Bridge]
[E]10 months sober, I must admit
[A]Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it
[E]10 months older, I won't give in
[A]Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it
[E] The dro[B]drought was the very worst [C#m] [A]
[E] When the fl[B]owers that we'd gr[C#m]own together di[A]ed of thirst
[Chorus 4]
R[E]ain came po[B]uring d[C#m]own when I was drowning
Th[A]That's when I could finally bre[E]breathe
And by m[B]orning, g[C#m]one was any trace
of you, I[A] think I am finally clean
R[E]ain came po[B]uring d[C#m]own when I was drowning
Th[A]That's when I could finally bre[E]breathe
And by m[B]orning, g[C#m]one was any trace
of you, I[A] think I am finally cle[E]an
