        Em             D#                 C             Bb    Am7
  It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything
         Em             D#                    C          Bb    Am7
  Comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake
      Em              D#             C        Bb     Am7
  I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there
       Em              D#                   C              Bb    Am7
  You don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare
  
  
  CHORUS
  G                            D
  You might have laughed if I told you
   C                       Am
  You might have hidden a frown
       G                        D
  You might have succeeded in changing me
  C                          Am
  I might have been turned around
        G                      D
  It's easier to leave than to be left behind
   C                     Am
  Leaving was never my proud
    G                     D
  Leaving New York never easy
  C                       Am
  I saw the lights fading out
  
  
  (Same Chords As Above)
  VERSE
  Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take...
  The loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in wait
  And all not lost still in my eye, the shadow of necklace across your thigh
  I might have lived my life in a dream, but i swear it, this is real
  Memory fuses and shatters like glass, mercurial future, forget the past
  But it's you, it's what i feel.
  
  CHORUS
  You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)
  You might have hidden a frown (change)
  You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
  I might have been turned around (change)
  It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
  Leaving was never my proud (change)
  Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  I saw the light fading out
  
  BRIDGE
  Em    D#
  
  Em                   D#                     Em
  You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
                       D#
  You find it in your heart, change...
     G                    D
  I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
     C                       Am
  I told you ,I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
     G                    D
  I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
     C                       Am
  I told you, I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
  
  CHORUS
  You might have laughed if I told you (forever, forever,I told You, forever)
  You might have hidden a frown (change)
  You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
  I might have been turned around (change)
  It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
  Leaving was never my proud (change)
  Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  I saw the light fading out (change)
  Leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  I saw the light fading out (change)
  Leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)
  I saw the light fading out (change)
