Notes

Verse 1

Gm7other one-ring circus, run its

C7course

right through

F7Bryant Park on ice ska-a-a-ates, and

B♭M7Central Park on horse.

But now the

E♭M7elves are leaving midtown for western

Dm7shores:

you know I

Em7gave you the world, babe—but I'm

E♭M7keeping New York in the divorce

Verse 2

Gm7Momma was a pizza,

C7daddy was a taxicab.

They both

F7rooted for the Yankees—far as can

B♭M7tell, they always had.

Some

E♭M7unions, they win wars—our

Dm7union is no more.

Must be the

Em7rats in this city. Still, I'm

E♭M7keeping New York in the divorce

E♭M7I heard you're in a better

Em7place now,

and I hope that

E♭M7means you can find some better

Em7men.

While I'm staying

C7put, be

D7hind the

E♭M7eight-ball

Em7—

—'cause in

E♭M7any other

D7city, it'd be a

C7ten.

Verse 3

And I

Gm7know I should take the high road—but the

C7subway, it's just faster.

It's

F7safe these days, though I've had close shaves when I've

B♭M7gone downstairs at Astor.

For some

E♭M7reason my heart can't express, no it never skips

Dm7beats anymore.

Got my

Em7love stuck running local,

cause I'm

E♭M7keeping New
