Well I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breaking like a robber who was making his way to the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A, had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold, but I been broken up & been busted up since
[E] Love don t [A] play any [E] games with [A] me, Any [D] more like she did before
[E] World won t [A] wait so I, [E] better [A] shake that [D] thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still [E] love you New [A] York [D] [A] [D]
[A] [D] [A]
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn t lose it on the roof of that place when I was drunk and I was thinkin of you
Every day the children they were singing their tunes, out on the streets and you could hear from inside
Used to take the subway up to Houston and Third, I would wait for you and I d try to hide
[E] Love don t [A] play any [E] games with [A] you, Any [D] more if you don t want em to
[E] World won t [A] wait & I, [E] watched you [A] shake, but [D] honey I don t blame you
Hell, I still [E] love you New [A] York [D] [A] [D]
Hell, I still love you New York [D] [A] [D] New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold In a church on the Upper West Side
Babe, I stood there singing I was holding your arm You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life At least we left before we had to go
[E] Love won t [A] play any [E] games with [A] you Any [D] more if you don t want em to
[E] Sweep and [A] shake this old [E] thing out the [A] door, I ll [D] always be thinking of you
I ll always [D] love you though New [A] York [D] [A] [D]
I ll always love you though New York
I ll always love you though New York
I ll always love you though New York New York, New York
Out on [A]
