VERSE
A
I remember it like it was yesterday
G Dm/F
Snow in the park and skaters on the ice
E D
Long black cars standing side-by-side
A/C# G/B D
Loading up the boys at night
VERSE
A
Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind
G Dm/F
Caught an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights
E D
Not something you'd see on a New York street
A/C# G/B D
It's such an uncommon sight
Chorus
Bb C
But I wouldn't have it any other way
F/A Bb A7/C# Dm
This city's got a thing about it, don't try to understand it
D Gm
New York City I'd really like to stay
C9
New York City I wouldn't have you
Bb F/A Eb C/E F
I wouldn't have you any other way
Instrumental
A G D A G D
VERSE
A
Oh the subway rumbled underneath
G Dm/F
Italian lights where Joey Gallo died
E D
And the man on the door down at 54's
A/C# G/B D
Is letting only the pretty inside
VERSE
A
I'd wake with a stranger under the covers
G Dm/F
Late in the day and longing for the night
E D
Just like the snowfall there's so many bodies
A/C# G/B D
But somehow it feels so right
Chorus
Bb C
But I wouldn't have it any other way
F/A Bb A7/C# Dm
This city's got a thing about it, don't try to understand it
D Gm
New York City I'd really like to stay
C9
New York City I wouldn't have you
Bb F/A Eb C/E F
I wouldn't have you any other way
BRIDGE
Dm A7
And I can feel the magic
Dm A7
And read a million lips
Bb F/A
No amount of what might happen
Eb Bb/D F
Will ever sink this ship
Instrumental
A G7 F7 E D A/C# G/B D

New York City I'd really like to stay
C9
New York City I wouldn't have you
Bb F/A
I wouldn't have you
Bb F/A Eb C/E F
I wouldn't have you any other way
Bb F/A
I wouldn't have you
Bb F/A
Eb C/E F Bb/F F Bb/F F
Any other way
