Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D#][Em][D#]

[Verse 1]
It's [Em]quiet now and [D#]what it brings
is [C]everything[Bb][Am]
Comes [Em]calling back a [D#]brilliant night
I'm [C]still [Bb]awake[C]
I [Em]looked ahead
I'm [D#]sure I saw you [C]there[Bb][Am]
You [Em]don't need me to [D#]tell you now
That [C]nothing can com[Bb]pare[C]

[Chorus 1]
[G]You might've laughed if I told you[D]
[C]You might have hidden your [Am]frown
You [G]might've succeeded in [D]changing me
[C]I might've been turned ar[Am]ound
It's [G]easier to leave than to [D]be left behind
[C]Leaving was never my [Am]proud
[G]Leaving New York never eas[D]y
[C]I saw the light fading o[Am]ut

[Verse 2]
Now [Em]life is sweet and [D#]what it brings
I [C]tried to [Bb]take[Am]
The [Em]loneliness it [D#]wears me out
It [C]lies in [Bb]wait[C]
And [Em]on a loss still in my eyes
[D#]Shatter a necklace across your thigh
I might've [C]lived my life in a dream
But I [Bb]swear this is [Am]real
[Em]Memory fuses, and shatters like glass
Mer[D#]curial future forget the past
But it's [C]you, it's what [Bb]I fe[C]el

[Chorus 2]
[G]You might've laughed if I told you[D]
[C]You might have hidden your [Am]frown (change)
You [G]might've succeeded in [D]changing me
[C]I might've been turned ar[Am]ound (change)
It's [G]easier to leave than to [D]be left behind
[C]Leaving was never my [Am]proud (change)
[G]Leaving New York never eas[D]y
[C]I saw the light fading o[Am]ut

[Bridge 1]
[Em][D#]
[Em]You find it in your hear[D#]t,
it's pulling me a[Em]part
You find it in your [D#]heart (change)
I [G]told you forever, I [D]love you it's forever
I [C]told you if I love you, I [Am]love you forever
I [G]told you forever, I [D]love you it's forever
I [C]told you if I love you, I [Am]love you forever

[Chorus 3]
[G]You might've laughed if I told you[D]
[C]You might have hidden your [Am]frown (change)
You [G]might've succeeded in [D]changing me
[C]I might've been turned ar[Am]ound (change)
It's [G]easier to leave than to [D]be left behind
[C]Leaving was never my [Am]proud (change)
[G]Leaving New York never eas[D]y
[C]I saw the light fading o[Am]ut (change)
[G]Leaving New York never eas[D]y
[C]I saw the light fading o[Am]ut (change)
[G]Leaving New York never eas[D]y
[C]I saw the light fading o[Am]ut (change)
