E
I know it's too late
                        D            A
I went and called your number by mistake
        E
Like a habit that's hard to break
          F#m
I wear my cold heart on my sleeve
                A            B
'Cause you're where I wanna be, yeah
    E
I wish you'd still be there
                   D                 A
But I'm a mess and I know you don't care
   E
A long way from anywhere
  F#m
I walk these rainy streets
      A            Am
And drown my misery

Chorus:
 E
Baby, it's over now
 B
Maybe my ups are all downtown
C#m
So far away
     B              A   B
I'm too lost to be found
 E
Baby, this time we're through
 B
Maybe I guess you knew
         C#m    B   A
Nothing matters anymore
                B
And that's the secret to New York

Broadway in my brain
The corner where my dreams became mistakes
It was written all over your face
You said I don't know who you are
Remember Union Square was always ours?

It all went by so fast
Now I got no girl, no place to crash
And I can't erase the past
'Cause I walk these rainy streets
Drowning you and me

Chorus

    F#m
I'm stuck on this train
            A
Every stop, I see your face
              E
Who's crying now?
                       B
You're begging me to stay
  F#m
Reflections don't lie
            A                  Am E
I keep you here, hidden in my eyes

Chorus:
Baby, it's over now
Maybe my ups are all downtown
So far away, I'm too lost to be found
Baby this time were through
Maybe I guess you knew
Nothing matters anymore
And that's the secret to New York

Nothing matters anymore,
that's the Secret to New York..
