Lyrics and song progression:

INTRO:
(Play progression one twise)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/ryan_adams/new_york_new_york_tab.html ]
VERSE: (Play progression one throughout)
Well I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July
Had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breaking like a robber who was making his way
To the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
Had a tar on the corner of Tenth
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I been broke I?ve been busted up since

CHORUS: (Play progression two once)
Love don?t play any games with me
Anymore like she did before
World won?t wait so I better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love you New York

INVERT:
(Play progression one twise)

VERSE: (Play progression one throughout)
Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn?t lose it out on Lutheran Place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you
Every day the children they were singing the tunes
Out on the streets and you could hear from the side
Used to take the subway out of Houston and Third
I would wait for you and not try to hide

CHORUS: (Play progression two once)
Love won?t play any games with you
Anymore if you don?t want her to
World won?t wait I watched you shake
But honey I don?t blame you
Hell, I still love you New York

INVERT:
(Play progression one twise)

VERSE: (Play progression one throughout)
I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the Upper West Side
Babe, you stood there singing I was holding you arm
You were holding my trust like a child
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
As we left before we had to go

CHORUS: (Play progression two once)
Love won?t play any games with you
Anymore if you don?t want her to
Sweep and shake this old thing out the door
I?ll always be thinking of you
I?ll always love you though New York

End on A

Enjoy,
