[Intro]
C Am F    C Am F
[Verse 1]
I used to CtaAmke the Ftrain
Upstate to see the CcoAmlors Fchange
Nothing's falling CquAmite the Fsame
No matter where I ClaAmndF  
This New York City CroAmoftop Fbar
Just looks up at the CsaAmme old Fstars
Thought that I had CcoAmme so Ffar
But it doesn't matter where I CamAm  F  
[Chorus]
I took Amtwo steps in Austin, GOne back in Boston
FTried to love something new
I found a Amlonesome highway, GBrand new skyline
But Fnothing could change my tune
Wish I could write a Csong about Ama ciFty
Instead of songs about CyoAmuF  
C Am F
[Verse 2]
I thought I'd find a CbrAmand new Fleaf
Drive on out to CJoAmshua FTree
Dry those tears in CdeAmsert Fheat
But the silence wCas too AmloudF  
I wish that I could CmaAmke the Fmost
Of the magic Con Amthis Fcoast
Can't see the beauty CthrAmough the Fghost
That I'm still Cdragging aAmroundF  
[Chorus]
All the way from AmMonterrey, GSanta Fe
Just Ftrying to love something new
I found a Amlonesome highway, GBrand new skyline
But Fnothing could change my tune
Wish I could write a Csong about Ama ciFty
Instead of songs about CyoAmuF  
[Instrumental]
   Am     G         Fx2
[Bridge]
But it doesn't matter CwhAmere I Fam
No, it doesn't matter CwhAmere I Fam
[Outro]
I took Amtwo steps in Austin, GOne back in Boston
FTried to love something new
I found a Amlonesome highway, GBrand new skyline
But Fnothing could change my tune
Wish I could write a Csong about Ama ciFty
Instead of songs about CyoAmuF  
Wish I could write a Csong about Ama ciFty
Instead of songs about CyoAmuF  
C Am F    C Am F    C Am F    C Am F

[Intro]

C Am F C Am F

[Verse 1]

C Am F

I used to take the train

C Am F

Upstate to see the colors change

C Am F

Nothing's falling quite the same

C Am F

No matter where I land

C Am F

This New York City rooftop bar

C Am F

Just looks up at the same old stars

C Am F

Thought that I had come so far

C Am F

But it doesn't matter where I am

[Chorus]

Am G

I took two steps in Austin, One back in Boston

Tried to love something new

Am G

I found a lonesome highway, Brand new skyline

But nothing could change my tune

C Am F

Wish I could write a song about a city

C Am F

Instead of songs about you

C Am F

[Verse 2]

C Am F

I thought I'd find a brand new leaf

C Am F

Drive on out to Joshua Tree

C Am F

Dry those tears in desert heat

C Am F

But the silence was too loud

C Am F

I wish that I could make the most

C Am F

Of the magic on this coast

C Am F

Can't see the beauty through the ghost

C Am F

That I'm still dragging around

[Chorus]

Am G

All the way from Monterrey, Santa Fe

Just trying to love something new

Am G

I found a lonesome highway, Brand new skyline

But nothing could change my tune

C Am F

Wish I could write a song about a city

C Am F

Instead of songs about you

[Instrumental]

Am G F

[Bridge]

C Am F

But it doesn't matter where I am

No, it doesn't matter where I am

[Outro]

Am G

I took two steps in Austin, One back in Boston

Tried to love something new

Am G

I found a lonesome highway, Brand new skyline

But nothing could change my tune

C Am F

Instead of songs about you

C Am F

Wish I could write a song about a city
