[Intro]
Ab Fm Cm Db (2x)
[Verse 1]
Bbm
I was half awake
Cm
Flying down the interstate
Db Cm
Mesmerized by power lines and blighted dour estates
Bbm
And all the things I just felt
Cm
Somewhere in the rust belt
Db
Wondering how many times can a heart melt
Eb Fm Ab
Still hoping your season will start well
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm
Pardon my semantics
Cm
It's somewhat pedantic
Db
But your outline against the Atlantic
Eb
Well it's idyllic and highly romantic
In a dream
Ab
Oh, I took several transfers to the G Line
Fm
Now Bushwick Inlet's just to our right
Cm
I'd never seen Manhattan at night
Db
I said it's lovely, you said that's right
[Chorus]
Ab Fm
Sidewalks, brownstones, and street posts
Cm Db
They line my dreams in complete rows
Ab Fm
On cold days she wears a peacoat
Cm Db
While staring out from the east coast
Ab Fm
A furtive glance as the fields roll
Cm Db
A stray outsider that she knows
Ab Fm
Could I be someone you need most
Cm Db
When I'm so far from the East Coast
[Outro]
Ab Fm Cm Db (4x)
