Verse 1
The days were long and the night so cold,
The pages turn and the tale unfolds,
He left me for, another lady.
Verse 2
She stood so tall and she never slept,
There was not one moment he could regret,
He left me for, another lady.
Pre-chorus 1
He took my hand one day and told me,
He was leaving, Me disbelieving.
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Had to let him go.
Chorus 1
Her name was New York, New York,
And she took his heart away from mine,
Her name was New York, New York,
She had poisoned his sweet mind,
Mm .. mm .. mmmm.
Verse 3
The wolves they howl for my lost soul,
I fell down a deep black hole,
He left me for, another lady,
She poured the drinks and she poured the power,
Diamond girl who could talk for hours,
He left me for, another lady.
Pre-chorus 2
Now I am on my own, he told me
He was leaving, and I was pleading
And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
Had to let him go.
Chorus 2
Her name was New York, New York,
And she took his heart away from mine,
Her name was New York, New York,
She had poisoned his sweet mind.
Bridge
The greatest times, I don't want to hear it,
Your new life tonight, I don't want to hear it,
The newfound friends she introduced you to,
I don't want to know them I just wanna be with you,
Please don't make me go to,
Chorus 3
New York___________, New York,
She took your heart away from mine,
Her name was New York, New York,
She poisoned your sweet mind,
Her name was New York, New York,
She took your heart away from mine,
Her name was New York, New York,
She poisoned your sweet mind,
She poisoned your sweet mind.

There's a few notes/chords omitted that are on the actual recording but this is just so
to over-complicate it.
