I never go to New York City these days
Something about the buildings and Chelsea just kills me
And maybe in a month or two,
maybe when things are different for me
maybe when things are different for you
You know all of this shit just sticks in my head

Chorus:
Gm Cm7 Bb Eb
There's anything different these days?
Gm Cm7 Bb
The light in her eyes goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyway
But maybe things are different these days
It's good for everybody to hurt somebody once in a while
The things I do to people I love shouldn't be allowed
Something about the buildings and Chelsea just kills me
Something about the buildings and Chelsea just kills me
There's anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are different these days
I dream I'm in New York City some nights
And angels float down from all the buildings
Something about an angel just kills me
I keep hoping something will
I keep hoping, I keep hoping, I keep hoping
There's anything different these days?
The light in her eyes goes out,
I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe
Maybe things are, maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe things are different,
Maybe things are different, maybe things are different
The light goes out
I never had light in my eyes anyways
Maybe things are different......
these days.
