[Verse 1]
[Am]
Here in the streets so mechanised
[G]
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
[Am]
Studied all the rules and I want no part
[G]
But I let you in just to break this heart
[Am]
Even though it was only one night it was
[G]
........Fucking strange

[Pre-Chorus]
[Am]
Nina's in the bedroom, 
[G]
She said time to go now
[D]
But leavin', it ain't easy
[E]
I've got to let go, Oh I've got to let go
[G]
And the hours they ran slow
I said every night she just can't stop sayin'

[Chorus]
[C]                       [F]
New York City Cops,     New York City Cops
[C]                [C/E]    [F]           [G]
New York City Cops,     They ain't too smart

[C]                   [F]
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
[C]              [C/E]  [F]                [G]
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart

[Am]  [G] x4 (intro/solo)

[Verse 2]
[Am]                                [G]
Oh, kill me now cos I let you down
[Am]                                        [G]
I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town
N.C.
Stop
[Am]                        [G]
Yes I'm leavin', Cos this just won't work
[Am]                                 [G]
They act like Romans, But they're just like Turks
[Am]                        [G]
Some time, in your prime, See me, I like the summertime
[Am]
but hey...

[Pre-Chorus]
[Am]
Nina's in the bedroom, 
[G]
She said time to go now
[D]
Oh leavin', it ain't easy
[E]
I've got to let go, I've got, to let, go, Oh
[Am]
Trapped in an apartment
[G]
She would not let them get her
[D]
She wrote it in a letter
[E]
Oh I've got to come clean
The authorities, they've seen
[G]
And darling I'm somewhere in between
I said every night, she just can't stop sayin'

[Chorus]
[C]                   [F]
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
[C]              [C/E]  [F]                [G]
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
[C]                   [F]
New York City Cops, New York City Cops
[C]              [C/E]  [F]                [G]
New York City Cops, They ain't too smart
