Verse 1:
A      F            C5
Fell asleep with a cigarette
A      F            C5
To the flicker of a TV set
A      F                 C5
No one saw you wave your white flag
G5                 F5           C5
No one saw your family photo album
G5                 F5          C5
Never saw your family photo album

Verse 2:
A           F                   C5
Fought some battles and we lost the war
A           F                   C5
And there's ashtrays all on the floor
A           F                   C5
"The city ain't beat me yet" he said
G5          F5          C5
To the flicker of a TV set
G5          F5          C5
To the blue light of a TV set

But ya gotta move your legs

The leaves are fallin' off the trees
A                 F              C5
There's children playin' in the street
A                 F              C5
Have you lost your will to see straight?
G5                F5              C5
Well to hell with New York City then,

New York City can go to hell
