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

From the 27th floor above the midtown roar

You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime
[CHORUS 1]

And she's every girl you've seen in every movie

In her steam and steel is the passion you feel

Endlessly

She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
[CHORUS 2]

Desperately
