Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Here in the streets so mechanised

Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life

Studied all the rules and I want no part

But I let you in just to break this heart

Even though it was only one night it was

........Fucking strange

Nina's in the bedroom,

She said time to go now

 But leavin', it ain't easy

 I've got to let go, Oh I've got to let go

 And the hours they ran slow

I said every night she just can't stop sayin'

Chorus

New York City Cops, New York City Cops

New York City Cops, They ain't too smart

New York City Cops, New York City Cops

New York City Cops, They ain't too smart

New York City Cops, New York City Cops

New York City Cops, They ain't too smart

x4 (intro) (solo)

Oh, kill me now cos I let you down

I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town

 Stop

Yes I'm leavin', Cos this just won't work

They act like Romans, But they're just like Turks

Some time, in your prime, See me, I like the summertime

but hey...

Nina's in the bedroom,

She said time to go now

 Oh leavin', it ain't easy

 I've got to let go, I've got, to let, go, Oh

Trapped in an apartment

She would not let them get her

 She wrote it in a letter

Oh I've got to come clean

The authorities, they've seen

 And darling I'm somewhere in between

I said every night, she just can't stop sayin'

New York City Cops, New York City Cops

New York City Cops, They ain't too smart

New York City Cops, New York City Cops

New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
