F#m
I'm going under, rats are in the cellar
Going under, skin's turning yellow
Nose is runny, losing my connection
Losing money, getting no affection

Chorus:
E    C#  A F#   B
New york city blues
 E    C#    A    F#   B
East side, west side news
   E  C# A   F#   B
Throw me in the slam
 E    C# A   F#  C#
Catch me if you can
   B
Believe
            C#  B
That you're wearin'
C#  B  C# B A E
Tearin'me apart

I'm safe complaining, because everything's rotten
Goin' insanin', and everything's forgotten
Feeling cozy, rats are in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy, skin's turning yellow
Loose and soggy, looking rather lazy
See my body, pushing up a-daisies

Chorus - x2
