Leaving New York

This is REM's new song off there forthcoming album. I'm sure its all correct. Just

follow the pattern for the verse and chorus and when the break comes i have shown

how the chords work out. The lyrics in Brackets are backing vocals which are sung

at the end of the line.

Leaving New York

Em Eb

Em Eb C Bb Am7

It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything...

Em Eb C Bb Am7

comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake

Em Eb C Bb Am7

I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there

Em Eb C Bb Am7

you don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare

G D

you might have laughed if I told you

C Am

you might have hidden the frown

G D

you might have succeeded in changing me

C Am

I might have been turned around

G D

It's easier to leave than to be left behind

C Am

leaving was never my proud

G D

leaving New York never easy

C Am

I saw the life fading out

now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take...

the loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in way

and on our lost till in my eyes, shadow of necklace across your thigh

i might have lived my life in a dream, but i swear, this is real

Memory fuses in shatters out glass, but carry your future, forget the past

but it's you, it's what i feel.

you might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)

you might have hidden the frown (change)

you might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

leaving was never my proud (change)

leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out

Em Eb

Em Eb

you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart

Em Eb

you find it in your heart, change...

G D

i told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)

C Am

i told you ,I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)

G D

i told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)

C Am

i told you, I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)

you might have laughed if I told you (forever, forever,I told You, forever)

you might have hidden the frown (change)

you might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)

I might have been turned around (change)

It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)

leaving was never my proud (change)

leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the life fading out (change)

leaving new york never easy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the light fading out (change)

Leaving new york never wasy (it's pulling me apart)

I saw the life fading out (change)
