       G          Em         C         G
You're sending me tulips, mistaken for lilies,

    G            Em        F           D
You give me your lip after punching me silly,

G             Em           C               G
You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain,

     G       Em           F                D
If I had any sense now, I wouldn't want it back again.

G         Bb          Am            G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,

       G            Bb        Am             G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,

       G           Bb           Am         G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?

      G            Bb        Am           G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?

G           Em          C             G
Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock,

G             Em         F          D
Clock all the faces that move in on your block,

G             Em          C                 G
Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten,

G              Em      F                  D
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost written.

G         Bb          Am            G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,

       G            Bb        Am             G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,

       G           Bb           Am         G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?

      G            Bb         Am          G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?

         E               E           A             E
Like, in London, they'll take you to heart after a little while,

Though I look right at home, I still feel like an exile.

[New Amsterdam]
G         Em           C           G
Somehow I found myself down at the dockside,

G                  Em          F             D
Thinking about the old days of Liverpool and Rotherhithe,

G           Em         C           G
Transparent people who live on the other side,

G        Em           F           D
Living a life that is almost like suicide,

G         Bb          Am            G
New Amsterdam, it's become much too much,

       G            Bb        Am             G
Will I have the possession of everything she touches,

       G           Bb           Am         G
Till I step on the brake to get out of her clutches?

      G            Bb         Am          G
Can I speak Double Dutch to a real double duchess?
