G#m F#
B E
Goodnight, New York New York
B
Goodnight, goodnight
F# G#m
I'll see you all on the other side
C#m G#m F#
After I am a different man with different eyes
B E B
Goodnight, you canyons of steel and light
F# G#m
Twist and turn where your alleyways hide
C#m G#m F#
G#m E
Swaying trains sheltering dreams and little white lies
B F#
Goodnight, goodnight
E
May you be always heartbreaking
B F#
Take a little more than you give
E
Yeah but when you give, oh my
B F#
Goodnight, goodnight
C#m
I walk away to remember who I am
B E
Somewhere in the woodland
B
Somewhere in streams
F# G#m
Little life shuffles into the day
C#m G#m F#
Folded wings into flattening veins and fluttering eyes
B E B
Somewhere my lifeline still hums and sings
F# G#m
In the mess of all I have thrown away
C#m G#m F# E
Hungry now, I am gathering seeds to throw wide
B F#
Goodnight, goodnight
E
May you be always breathtaking
B F#
Cold winter, sink your teeth in me
E
June sun, beat me blind
B F#
Goodnight, goodnight
C#m
I'm on my way to remembering who I am
E B
And in your way you remain
F# G#m
You will claim all this space
E B
In my way I'll remain
F# G#m
Even as it takes my place
E B
In your life, at your side
F# E B
You were right
F# G#m E
I'll say goodnight but it's never goodbye
B E
Goodnight, goodnight
B E
Goodnight, goodnight
B F#
Goodnight, goodnight
C#m
May you always start breaking my heart again
B E
Good morning, lover
B
Give me your hand
F# G#m
Today begins and it's all that we have
