(Riff)
Everything's coming up roses
(Riff)
Everything's coming to a bitter, bitter end
(Riff)
I'm searching for the problem, and I'm looking for a positive
(Riff)
Maybe I'll see a few old friends
(Riff)
With more faith in God, I would tell you that this was the rapture
(Riff)
And we've been left behind
(Riff)
Oh, why are we so young with tired, sunken, baggy eyes?
[Pre-Chorus]
G B
So I'll give myself a name, something stupid and pretentious
Em C
Like Mawce spelled with a C
G B
And I'll hope all the cool kids who graduated
Em C
But stay judgmental will finally accept me
[Chorus]
C D E D C
And I might be flying home today, but I'm not going home
C D E D C
'Cause everything I thought I knew has proven to be wrong
C D
And I'm desperate to the point of flying straight into
E D
The over-drinking night that leave you feeling torn
C D C D
I'm leaving, I'm leaving for New York
[Verse 2]
G B
Step off the plane, hop into the sedan
Em C
I return to the house, not a kid, not a man
G* B*
Screaming "Everyone hear it for the eight-four five"
Em C
Where complacency rules and the kids only die
G B
If they stray from the mark, if they keep themselves clean
Em C
And they tore down the park, now I'm stuck in my dreams
[Chorus]
C D E D C
And I might be flying home today, but I'm not going home
C D E D C
'Cause everything I thought I knew has proven to be wrong
C D
And I'm desperate to the point of flying straight into
E D
The over-drinking night that leave you feeling torn
C D E D
I'm leaving, I'm leaving for New York
[Bridge]
G B Em C
An orange and yellow armada of delivery trucks is all I can see
G B
From the window of this Uber
Em C* G*
I'm reminded that the world won't stop for me
B
But no one ever really stops to think
G* B* Em* C*
I might be flying home today, but I'm not going home
G* B* Em C
'Cause everything I thought I knew has proven to be wrong
[Chorus]
C D
And I'm desperate to the point of flying straight into
E D
The over-drinking night that leave you feeling torn
C D Em Em7 Gsus4
I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving for New York
Em Em7 Gsus4
I'm leaving for New York
Em Em7 Gsus4
I'm leaving for New York
