Chords

[VERSE 1]
G             D/F#                   E
New York City spread herself before you

         C                G               D/F#
With her bangles and her spangles and her stars

G         D/F#               E
You were impressed with the city so undressed

    C              D               G
You had to go out cruising all the bars
[VERSE 2]
G                  D/F#                    E
Your business trip extended through the weekend

C             G                  D/F#
Suburban boy here for your first time

        G     D/F#   E
From the 27th floor above the midtown roar

         C              D              G
You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime
[CHORUS 1]
          Dm                              Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

Dm                              Cmaj7
Every dame you've ever known on late night TV

       Em        Em/D         Em/C#       Cmaj7
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

  B7
Endlessly
[VERSE 3]
G             D/F#         E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry

C                 D            G
And to her you're just another guy

G             D/F#           E
Look down and see her ruined places

C                   G             D
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky

      G                 D/F#      E
She's happy that you're here but when you disappear

          C                D           G
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
[CHORUS 2]
          Dm                              Cmaj7
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

Dm                              Cmaj7
Every dame you've ever known on late night tv

       Em        Em/D         Em/C#       Cmaj7
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

B7
Desperately
[VERSE 4]
G             D/F#         E
New York is a woman she'll make you cry

C                 D            G
And to her you're just another guy
