[Intro]
D A
2x
[Verse 1]
D A
I can't remember what I planned tomorrow
D A
I can't remember when it's time to go
Bm
When I look in the mirror
E E F# G
Tracing lines with a pencil
G
I remember what came before
[Verse 2]
D A
I wanted to think there was endless love
D A
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes
Bm E
In the dead of the night I found out
E F# G A
Sometimes there's love that won't survive
[Chorus]
D A B C
New York City
C G D A B C
Such a beautiful disease
G D A B C G G A A# F
New York City Such a beautiful
G D
Such a beautiful disease
[Instrumental]
D A
2x
[Verse 3]
D A
Laura kept all her disappointments
D A
Locked up in a box behind her closet door
Bm E
She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder
E F# G A
With no way out from the family store
[Verse 4]
D A
We all told her things could get better
D A
When you just say goodbye
Bm E
I'll lay awake one more night
E F# G A
Caught in a vision I want to deny
[Verse 5]
D A
And did I mention the note that I found
D A
Taped to my locked front door
Bm E
It talked about no regrets
E F# G A
As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor
[Verse 6]
D A
I rode the train for hours on end
D A
And watched the people pass me by
Bm E
It could be that it has no end
E F# G A
Just an action junkie's lullaby
[Chorus]
D A B C
New York City
C G D A B C
Such a beautiful disease
G D A B C G G A A# F
New York City Such a beautiful
G D
Such a beautiful disease
[Instrumental]
D A
2x
[Verse 7]
D A
We were full of the stuff that every dream rested
D A
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky
Bm E
Caught up in the whole illusion
E F# G A
That dreams never pass us by
[Verse 8]
D A
Came to a tattooed conclusion
D A
That the big one was knocking on the door
Bm E
What started as a mass delusion
E F# G A
Would take me far from the place I adore
[Chorus]
D A B C
New York City
C G D A B C
Such a beautiful disease
G D A B C G G A A# F
New York City You are my beautiful
G D
Such a beautiful disease
[Instrumental]
