New York Citys Killing Me

Ray LaMontagne


Tom: C

                                  C
There's just something about this hotel
                    F
Got me wishing I was dead
                         G
Gotta get outta New York City, son
                       C
Somewhere I can clear my head

                             C
I was just kicking along the sidewalk
                              F
No one looks straight in the eyes
                             G
No one asks you how you're doing
                                   C
Don't seem to care if you live or if you die

[Chorus]
                  F
Just gotta get me somewhere
                        C
Somewhere that I can feel free
                         G
Gotta get outta New York City, boy
                       C
New York City's killing me

[Interlude]
F   C   G   C

[Verse 2] (same progression as Verse 1)
Just outside of Nashville
I met the woman of my dreams
Sure would like to get to know her
Maybe find out what it means

Get so tired of all this concrete
Get so tired of all this noise
Gotta get back up in my country
Have a couple drinks with the good ol' boys

[Chorus]
                  F
Just gotta get me somewhere
                        C
Somewhere that I can feel free
                       G
Get me out of New York City, son
                       C
New York City's killing me

[Interlude]
F   C   G   C

[Chorus]
                  F
Just gotta get me somewhere
                        C
Somewhere that I can feel free
                       G
Get me out of New York City, son
                       C
New York City's killing me
                          G
Gotta get out of New York City, son
                       C
New York City's killing me
