Intro 6x: G  D  C

G                 D                 C
Walking through a crowd the village is a glow 
G               D          C
Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats 
G         D           C
Everybody here wanted something more 
G               D               C
Searching for a sound we hadn't heard before 

And it said

G*             D*   C*
Welcome to New York,  it's been waiting for you 
G*             D*            C*
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York 
G              D    C

G               D
It's a new soundtrack 
                    C
I can dance to this beat, beat 
       Em
Forevermore 
                  D
The lights are so bright 
                     C
But they never blind me, me 


G              D    C
Welcome to New York, it's been waiting for you   
G              D             C

( G )

     G                    D        C
When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors 
G               D                C
Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer 
G         D                C
Everybody here was someone else before 
            G
And you can want who you want  
D                 C
boys and boys and girls and girls 

G              D    C

Em*      D*        C*
