[Opening]
[F] [Em] [Am]
[F]We were crazy to think, crazy to [F]think that this could work
Remember how I said I’d [Em]die for [Am]you?
[F]We were stupid to jump, in the [F]ocean separating us
Remember how I’d [Em]fly to [Am]you?

[chorus]
And I can’t [F]talk to you when you’re like this
[F]Staring out the window, like I’m not your favorite town
[G]I’m New York City, I still [G]do it for you, babe
They all [F]warned us about times like this
They say the [F]road gets hard and you get lost
When you’re led by [G]blind faith, blind faith

[chorus]
But we [F]might just get away with it, religion’s in your [C]lips
Even if it’s a [G]false god, [G]we’d still worship
We [F]might just get away with it, the altar is my [C]hips
Even if it’s a [G]false god
We’d still worship this [F]love
We’d still worship this [F]love
We’d still [Em]worship this [Am]love

[verse 2]
[F]I know heaven’s a thing, I go [F]there when you touch me, honey.
Hell is when I [Em]fight with [Am]you, [F]but we can patch it up good.
Make [F]confessions and we’re begging for forgiveness.
Got the [Em]wine for [Am]you.

[chorus]
And I can’t [F]talk to you when you’re like this
[F]Staring out the window, like I’m not your favorite town
[G]I’m New York City, I still [G]do it for you, babe
They all [F]warned us about times like this
They say the [F]road gets hard and you get lost
When you’re led by [G]blind faith, blind faith

[chorus]
But we [F]might just get away with it, religion’s in your [C]lips
Even if it’s a [G]false god, [G]we’d still worship
We [F]might just get away with it, the altar is my [C]hips
Even if it’s a [G]false god
We’d still worship this [F]love
We’d still worship this [F]love
We’d still [Em]worship this [Am]love, ah

[Closing]
Still worship this [F]love, even if it’s a false [F]god
Even if [Em]it’s a false [Am]god, still worship this [F]love

[outro]
[F] [Em] [Am]
