Is that supposed to be your poker face, or was someone run over by a train
And you were minding your own business, but you're begging for forgiveness just the same
         C               
And it's running back and forth inside your mind
                     Em                         Am
Just how that town defined you, dressed you up, painted your face
    G                            Dm C             G      Riff (x4)
And now you're leaving New York,    for no better place

You're awake and trying not to be, wrapped around your pillow like a prawn
And the nighttime's wrapped around you, will be until it drops you on the dawn
Till happy hour found you, where you can drink that smirk right off your face
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place

    D                            C
And here is your reflection in a building uptown
  Em                        D
A ghost inside some Madison Avenue display
     C
Like water under bridges, you're slowly passing by
       Am                                D     Riff (x4)
As you sail between the rooftops and the sky

C     Em      G       Dm    C    G      Dm    C    G

And the bourbon sits inside me, right now I'm a puppet in its sway
And it may be the whiskey talking, but the whiskey says I miss you every day
So I taxi to an all-night party, park me in the corner in an old chair
Sip my drink and stare out into space
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place

Riff (repeat and fade)
