G D Em
It all started out so easy
C G
11th Street bar downtown
D Em
Used to drag the boys out on the weekend
C G
When I heard she liked to come around
D Em
Every now and then I'd get to see her
C G
Waltzing in with them eastside boys
D Em
She had eyes that could cut through the haze
C G
You could still smoke in bars back in them days
[Chorus]
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
[Verse]
G D Em
So I talked to my main man Kenny
C G
He's worked the bar there for 100 years or more
D Em
When I asked him all about her
C G
He said man what are you doing this to yourself for?
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
It don't matter what you do
Em
It don't matter what you say
C G
She'll never love you anyway
D
You've got to move on
Em
Yeah you've got to move on
C
Yeah he said yeah
[Chorus]
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
[Verse]
G D Em
Loneliness slow dances with darkness
C G
Through the city that never used to sleep
D Em
Our ghosts to kiss and ride on the C train
C G
And memories turn into dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
D
It don't matter what I do
Em
It don't matter what I say
C
It won't matter anyway
[Chorus]
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
New York City girls
G D
Stop falling for
Em C
