Last night's heels, on the mornin' train
E7B7D7A7G#7C#7G#m7C#7
It's a long way back downtown
G#m7C#7G#m7C#7
Ten missed calls, they don't know where you are
E7B7D7A7G#m7A7G#m7E7
It's a long way back downtooooooooooooooown

Hey, I was flyin' (Flyin', flyin', flyin')
C#7G#m7
Over the Empire State (Over, away)
C#7G#m7
Then you kissed me (Kissed me, kissed me)
D#mD#
And I crashed again
[Post-Chorus Riff]

I know this part is not technically guitar but I loved it so much that
I decided to transcribe the two parts:

G#m7C#7G#m7C#7
When'd it start? This feeling so wrong
G#m7C#7
When you're down and out downtown
[Bridge]
G#m7C#7
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Bowery John
G#m7C#7
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Forgotten, but not gone
G#m7C#7
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Prayin' at St. Ann's
G#m7C#7
Bodega roses in my hands (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m7A#mBD#mC#7
Down and out downtown
G#m7A#mBD#mC#7
And the joker with that funny laugh is diggin' through the basement of
my past
E7B7D7A7G#m7A7G#m7E7G#m7
It's a long way back down, down and out downtown
[Chorus]
C#7G#m7
Hey, I was flyin' (Flyin', flyin', flyin')
C#7G#m7
Over the Empire State (Over, away)
C#7G#m7
Then you kissed me (Kissed me, kissed me, kissed me)

And I crashed again
