B                        D#m
I can't walk down these streets
                   E
and see all these signs
                   G
Without you on my mind
B                    D#m                 E
Remembering all the days, the New York cliches
                     G
Those late downtown nights

B                     D#m                 E
You're everywhere I go, I can't help but notice
                            G
I wouldn't know you if I'd never come here

Chorus:
        E                     D#    G#m
I lie awake in the city that never sleeps
                            B
Tryna forget about you and me
         D#              E
But it's all that I can see
E                            D#     G#m
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
                            B
The city of how we used to be
              D#               E
Wish I could see it differently
  B           D#                 E
Oh, but it's covered in you and me
    B               D#           E
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
        B
'Til I leave

I can't focus like I should, my vision's obscured
By fuckin' memory lane, oh
Suppose the work does me good, but I'd go if I could
'Cause it don't feel the same to lie awake

Chorus:
In the city that never sleeps
Tryna forget about you and me
But it's all that I can see
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
The city of how we used to be
Wish I could see it differently
Oh, but it's covered in you and me
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
'Til I leave
'Til I leave

 C#m                 F#7
Darkness falls under all of the lights
         B                      G#m
Got that Empire State playin' tricks on my mind
C#m7                      F#7
You and your ghost follow me through the night
B               E
It haunts me inside
      B                E
I just can't close my eyes

I lie awake in the city that never sleeps
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tryna forget about you and me
But it's all that I can see (All that I can see)
I lie awake in the city of broken dreams
The city of how we used to be
(How we used to be, yeah, yeah)
Wish I could see it differently
Oh, but it's covered in you and me
I guess I won't be getting any sleep
