Listen to the song for the strumming patterns, and where the song picks up and slows down.
(*Piano first verse but if you wanna play it on guitar it’s the same chords as the second verse)
Broke the winter’s back 
And split for the Sun 
Shot through the night from a frozen gun 
With my eyes to the skies 
And one foot to the ground 
I really gotta’ go …Away 
-- 
It’s a Crough n’ tumble come down at the break of day 
Sitting here staring out across the bay 
CWith that sunrise in your eyes 
There’s never really too much to say 
But I really gotta’ Fgo. …Away C  
-- 
AmCause heartbreaks are uncurable 
And I’m up all night 
FStone-faced in New York City 
Trying to set things riCght

CShe talks with her hands and she’s saying goodbye 
CNobody’s gonna’ tell me why 
They just say tFime, time heals all 
But I don’t believe them C

AmCause heartbreaks are uncurable 
And I’m up all night 
FStone-faced in New York City 
                                    C               G  C(let it ring)
Trying to set things right ……allnight

(*Piano verse, if you want to play same verse chords as above)
Now time rolls on religiously, swift and sly 
Bullet train full of souls riding through the night 
Everyone thinks they can slow it down 
I used to be like that before I knew you 
-- 
There ain’t Cnothing as dead as a dead romance 
CNothing more alive than the city tonight 
FStorefront windows reflecting me 
Where my steel cut heart can feel the electricity hCumm
Look at me Amnow, whose gonna’ take me there 
From this Flighting and the thunder and you, the eighth wonder

(*Piano first verse but if you wanna play it on guitar it’s the same chords as the second verse)

Broke the winter’s back

And split for the Sun

Shot through the night from a frozen gun

With my eyes to the skies

And one foot to the ground

I really gotta’ go …Away

It’s a rough n’ tumble come down at the break of day

Sitting here staring out across the bay

With that sunrise in your eyes

There’s never really too much to say

F C

But I really gotta’ go. …Away

Cause heartbreaks are uncurable

And I’m up all night

Stone-faced in New York City

Trying to set things right

She talks with her hands and she’s saying goodbye

Nobody’s gonna’ tell me why

They just say time, time heals all

But I don’t believe them

Cause heartbreaks are uncurable

And I’m up all night

Stone-faced in New York City

I used to be like that before I knew you

There ain’t nothing as dead as a dead romance

Nothing more alive than the city tonight

Storefront windows reflecting me

Where my steel cut heart can feel the electricity humm

Look at me now, whose gonna’ take me there

From this lighting and the thunder and you, the eighth wonder
