It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart

If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March

I'd prefer you were straight forward You don't have to go through all of that

I'm a New York city man, baby Say "go" and that is that

It's far too complicated to make up a lie

A
I'm a M-A-N-N man

Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed
A Am
Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain

Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play
A Am
But I'm no Lear with blinded eyes Say " go " and I am gone
E G#m
The stars have shut their eyes up tight The earth has changed it's course
A Am
A Kingdom sits on a black knight's back As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse
E G#m
While a clock full of butterflies on the hour Releases a thousand moths
A Am
You say " leave" and I'll be gone Without any remorse
A Am
No letters faxes phones or tears There's a difference between Bad and worse
[Chorus]

New York city, ooohhh, I love you New York city,
E G#m A B
