E                                 G#m
It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart

A                                    Am
If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March

       E                                      G#m
I'd prefer you were straight forward You don't have to go through all of that

I'm a New York city man, baby Say "go" and that is that

It's far too complicated to make up a lie

     A                          Am
That you'd have to remember and really why

  E                                 G#m
I wouldn't want to be around you If you don't want to have me around

      A
I'm a M-A-N-N man

    Am
You Blink your eyes and I'll gone

Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed

A                            Am
Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain

E                           G#m
Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play

A                                    Am
But I'm no Lear with blinded eyes Say " go " and I am gone

E                                         G#m
The stars have shut their eyes up tight The earth has changed it's course

A                                           Am
A Kingdom sits on a black knight's back As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse

E                                             G#m
While a clock full of butterflies on the hour Releases a thousand moths

A                                    Am
You say " leave" and I'll be gone Without any remorse

A                                    Am
No letters faxes phones or tears There's a difference between Bad and worse

         E               G#m                               A B
New York city, I love you, blink your eyes and I'll be gone   Just a little grain of sand

E            G#m               A             B
