[Chorus]
F          G       Am
Maybe I’m outta my head
Am         G         F
Take me to Brooklyn again
F          G         Am
I’m in the back of a cab
             F
And you’re still on my mind,
yea you’re still on my mind

[Verse 1]
F      G   Am
Oh my god.....
                              Am
Never felt so good in my life..
    G  F
Oh my....
                                  F  G
Feel like it’s the Fourth of July
         Am
Under the moonlight on the
                  Am
rooftop in the night..

G              F
..In the night..

[Pre-Chorus]
            Dm                   F
And now it seems like I got it all..
               Dm                  G
But I’m just someone lost in New York
       Dm                      F
Even though it's a quarter to four
          G
I want more, I want more
