Verse:
                          C
And now weʼre all here, weʼve moved to New York

Weʼve found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
                            C                              C7
Now Iʼm looking at houses with four or five floors
                                  F                                                Fm

Chorus:
                                        C
So we went ahead and we bought it

Found ourselves a good mortgage
                       F
Billy Cotton got sorted
                         Fm
All the furniture ordered
                     C
I could never afford this
                           C7
You were pushing it forward
                           F
Made me feel a bit awkward
                           Fm
Made me feel a bit awkward
 
Verse:
                        C                                   C7
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in the door
                                         F                                     Fm
And then my phone started ringing so I answered the call
                                C                                     C7
And they were like "Hey, youʼve got a lead in a play"
                                         F                              Fm
Youʼve gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May"
                               C                                           C7
And then later that evening you said how was my day
                                      F                                  Fm
I said “I got some good news, I got the lead in a play”
                                 C                       C7
Thatʼs when your demeanour started to change
                                     F                                 Fm
You said that Iʼd have to audition, I said “Youʼre deranged”

I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
                    C
And I thought.
                         C7                    F              Fm

            C
But I ignored it
                            C7
Went ahead and I bought it
                           F
Got a flight and I boarded

Iʼm on my way

                       F                              Fm
And Iʼm in a hotel room, Iʼm on my own.
                    C                        C7
Now Iʼm in London and Iʼm all alone
