[Intro]
C G Am F
C G C F C
[Verse 1]
C G
Back in New York City
Am F
Last time you walked with me
C G
Peacoats and fedoras
Am F
Jazz music played for us
C G
Cool breeze in the park
Am F
Stiff drinks after dark
C G C F C
How was I to know
[Chorus]
C G Am
How was I to know
F
That'd be the last time
C G Am F
That I'd see your face
C G
You put your hand on my shoulder
Am F
The last time you'd grow older
C G C F C
How was I to know
[Verse 2]
C G
Back in New York City
Am F
Last time you talked with me
C G
Of past recollection
Am F
A lifetime of connections
C G
Of people that you missed
Am F
And jokes of bucket lists
C G C F C
How was I to know
[Chorus]
C G Am
How was I to know
F
That'd be the last time
C G Am F
That I'd see your face
C G
You put your arm 'round my shoulder
Am F
The last time you'd grow older
C G C F C
How was I to know
[Bridge]
G Am
And the thought that I feel
F G
Is so painfully real
Am
Your soul's everywhere
F G
Like snow hanging in the air
Am
The lessons you left behind
F G
They're always on my mind
Am
The beating in my heart
F G
And a dying work of art
[Chorus]
C G Am
How was I to know
F
That'd be the last time
C G Am F
That I'd see your face
C G
Without your arm 'round my shoulder
Am F
Ths world is so much colder
C G C F C
How was I to know
C G C F C
How was I to know
[Verse 3]
C G
Back in New York City
Am F
This time you're not with me
C G
But a love that's undenied
Am F
Big bright eyes by my side
C G
A new world to explore
Am F
My daughter to adore
C G C F C
How was I to know
