Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Wal[C]kin[G]g down[Em]
5th [D]Avenue in [C]1988
[G]A g[Em]limpse through the buildi[D]ngs
of the [C]Em pire State
[G]From a [C]listed interi[Bm]or of unce[Am]rtain date
[G]To the wrong address, of course
[D]And it's Uni[C]on and Washing[Bm]ton
and [Am]Madison Square
[G]It's a [Em]long way back[D],
it's a [C]short way there
[G]We [C]fell [Bm]in love, I [Am]got scared
[G]And you kissed me on West [D]4th
And [C]we will always [D]have
New [G]York[C][G]
Home[Em]less in the librar[D]y,
wash[C]ing in the [G]stores
[Em]Meet me at the Strand
[D]where hand in [C]hand we will recall
[G]All the book[C]s from many years [Bm]ago
that [Am]no one reads at a[G]ll
You can steal, but don't get [D]caught
And the [C]F train waits
[Bm]For the G trai[Am]n slow
[G]And the C won[Em]'t move
[D]Till the A t[C]rain goes[G] September ghos[C]ts
[Bm]They never s[Am]ay hello
[G]Oh but now they want to [C]tal[G]k[D]
[C]They will always [D]have New [G]York[C][G]
All [Em]your blazing light[D]s
and your flam[C]ing lips
[G]And you[Em]r full moon shining[D]
on my lun[C]ar eclipse
[G]And [C]the sound of vinyl
[Bm]when [Am]the needle skips
[G]And the scratches on my bac[D]k
A [C]twice -toed [Bm]tail and
an [Am]ice -skating rink
[G]I couldn't[Em] keep my foot down[D],
but I [C]held my drink
[G]And I m[C]ight as well rid[Bm]e an invisibl[Am]e ink
[G]Rain on sidewalk cha[D]lk
We [C]will always [D]have New [G]York
[Am][Em][C][Am][Em]
[D]
A [Em]Woody Allen movie [D]played
[C]beneath the stars
[G]To seven [Em]thousand people
[D]who [C]loved one love
[G]Oh, I [C]wasn't even there,
[Bm]but I got his [Am]autog[G]raph
Memories have [D]warped
From the dead [C]dog park,
[Bm]where the [Am]sick dogs go[G]
Nip[Em]ping at your ankles
[D]from the un[C]dergrowth
[G]Oh, [C]thank you for inviting [Bm]me.
Enjoy [Am]the [G]show.
It's my last resort.
[D]And you[C]r pink teacup
[Bm]and your b[Am]ottom [G]line.
[Em]Mer cer book[D]s on a g[C]lass of wine.
[G]My pia[C]no has[Bm] a bro[Am]ken spine
[G]And it needs a tuning for[D]k
We [C]will always [D]have New [G]York
I'm on one [Em]hell of an accel[D]eride
On [C]someone else's dime
[G]One day[Em] they'll put your picture[D]
in the New [C]York Times
[G]Now you [C]call me Mr. Sta[Bm]ce
But I'm [Am]run ning out of [G]rhymes
I do [C]what [G]I o[D]ught
[C]Now I [Bm]live in a dif[Am]ferent town
[G]I'l[Em]l put on [D]one hundre[C]d pounds
[G]I won't w[C]rite another s[Bm]ong,
I won't [Am]make another sound,
[G]no I won't talk at [Bm]all.[D]
[C]Now you never write [Bm]to me,
oh [Am]now you never c[G]all.
[C]I'm in Philadelphia,
[Bm]it's no distance[Am] at all.
[G]You still hol[C]d the[G] for[D]t
And [C]we will always [D]have New [G]York
[B]We [C]will always [D]have New [G]York
