I stood alone upon the platform in vain 
Am7M                                                        F 
The puerto ricans they were playing their salsa in the rain 
                                C 
With open doors and manual locks 
      F        Fm        C 
In fast food parking lots

New York it lied to me I needed the truth 
       F                                        C 
Oh, I need somebody, I need someone I could trust

Like the dead sea,

You told me you were good at runnin' away 
Am7M                                         F 
Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase 
                                       C 
You left with just the clothes on your back 
        F        Fm                 C 
They took the rest when you took a nap 
C 
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
