As recorded by Matchbox Twenty (From the 2023 Album WHERE THE LIGHT GOES) [Intro] G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 [Verse 1]
G                       Cmaj7
There's a rhythm to her heart

G                      Cmaj7
And a world inside her head

G                        Cmaj7
She'll tell you from the start

Em                      Cmaj7
Boy, you don't know her yet

G                   Cmaj7  Em
She's like a constellation

                       Cmaj7  D
Of stars that don't connect
[Pre-Chorus]
          C                       D
And she's dancing on the sidewalk

                  C
Just like all the neon signs are spotlights, she says
[Chorus]
G                              C
"Ain't I the queen of New York City?

                       G
I'll take 'em all down with me

                          C
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

G                           C
She's got some kind of way about her

                       Em
One look and you don't doubt her

                   C
Seeing's believing now

                      G    C
Don't you believe her now?
[Verse 2]
           G                         C
She says, "Man, I'm gonna leave this town

G                           C
'Cause I got wings under my feet"

G                           C
Then she tells you she gets vertigo

Em                       C      D
When she goes above 14th Street
[Pre-Chorus]
             Am                                D
And then she smiles at you the way that people smile

             C
When they're trying not to cry, and she says
[Chorus]
G                              C
"Ain't I the queen of New York City?

                       G
I'll take 'em all down with me

                          C
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

G                           C
She's got some kind of way about her

                       Em
One look and you don't doubt her

                   C
Seeing's believing now

                      G
Don't you believe her now?
[Interlude] C G C [Pre-Chorus]
       G                             C
"Well, ain't I the queen of New York City?

                       G
I'll take 'em all down with me
N.C. 'Cause I'm gonna run this town" [Out-Chorus]
G                               C
"Hey, I'm the queen of New York City?

                       G
I'll take 'em all down with me

                          C
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"

G                           C
She's got some kind of way about her

                       Em
One look and you don't doubt her

                   C
Seeing's believing now

                      G
Don't you believe her now?

                      C
Don't you believe her now?

                            G
Yeah, don't you believe her now?

                      C
Don't you believe her now?

                    G
Hell, I believe her now, yeah

                      C
Don't you believe her now?

                  G    C
