I can't remember what I planned tomorrow 
D                           A
I can't remember when it's time to go 
     Bm                                     E
When I look in the mirror Tracing lines with a pencil
   G                  A
I remember what came before 

I wanted to think there was endless love 
Until I saw the light dim in your eyes 
In the dead of the night I found out 
Sometimes there's love that won't survive

Laura kept all her disappointments 
Locked up in a box behind her closet door 
She pulled the blinds and listened to the thunder 
With no way out from the family store 

We all told her things could get better 
When you just say goodbye 
I'll lay awake one more night 
Caught in a vision I want to deny 

And did I mention the note that I found 
Taped to my locked front door 
It talked about no regrets 
As it slipped from my hand to the scuffed tile floor 

I rode the train for hours on end 
And watched the people pass me by 
It could be that it has no end 
Just an action junkie's lullaby 

New York City 
Such a beautiful disease 
New York City
Such a beautiful, 
Such a beautiful disease

We were full of the stuff that every dream rested 
As if floating on a lumpy pillow sky 
Caught up in the whole illusion 
That dreams never pass us by 

Came to a tattoed conclusion 
That the big one was knocking on the door 
What started as a mass delusion 
Would take me far from the place I adore 

New York City 
Such a beautiful disease 
New York City
Such a beautiful, 
Such a beautiful disease
