C G
Those green eyes and that contagious smile
Am F
And those lips, and the way they verbalize
C G
Oh, New York City, what a beauty to our eyes
Am
Then you held my hand the first time
F C
You looked at me and smiled
C G
Everything was perfect, everything was great
Am F
I was on a fairytale. It's a dream while I'm awake
C
But days passed and we weren't there
G Am F
And it felt like we didn't care anymore, anymore
Am F
But why'd we say goodbye
C G
We said we didn't have enough time for both of us
Am F
We said we'll try to work things out
C G (strum once, wait)
But all 'a sudden we're all tired and said goodbye
C
It's sad not to hear you;
G
Calling me up, at 3am
Am
No one's ever gonna sing to me
F (strum twice hard) G (strum twice hard)
Stevie Wonder songs again
C G Am
I'll miss your kiss and you curly hair
But now that we said goodbye
F C
I'll pretend that I'm alright
G Am
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright
You said you didn't wanna see me cry
F C
Well, I'll pretend that I'm alright
G Am F
I'm alright..
C G
I'll miss you holding hotel keys
Am
And watch you sing to girls with happy tears
F
When you're on stage, you point at me, you sing to me
As I chant your name
C G
And as the spotlights disappear
Am
It's a different person that I'm with
F
So much simpler, so much better, and just so beautiful
C G
The way we laugh with four more guys
Am F
You walk around naked and cover my eyes
C G
You're just so funny
Am F
I can't believe we're letting this go
Am F
But why'd we say goodbye
C F
We said we didn't have enough time for both of us
Am F
We said we'll try to work things out
C G (once, wait)
But all 'a sudden we're all tired and said goodbye
C G
Maybe it's time to let go
Am
Maybe it's better off alone
F
Maybe today's the wrong time
Someday, we'll learn to be strong
C G
Maybe you're right about this
Am
We're busy people with busy lives
F
We can't keep up on this
C G Am F
So goodbye (aye, aye, aye, aye)
C G Am
Call me up at 3am
F G
Sing me Stevie Wonder songs again
C G
Your kiss and your curly hair
Am
Never gonna say goodbye
F C
'Cause we're alright
