[Verse: 1]
 
         Em    D  Em    Cmaj7  Bm7  Cmaj7
 When my heart is torn apart 
      Am7    D      G  B
 by love I wish I had, 
         Em     D  Em           Cmaj7  Bm7  Cmaj7
 well, I spend my nights in the city's lights 
     Am7          D       G
 and things don't seem so bad
              Am                Em
 ya' know the movement seems to soothe me, 
         Am                Em
 and the tempo takes control, 
       Am7       G/B
 and I lose my blues when the
 C        A/C# G/D            D#b5
 New York City rhythm fill my soul; 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Em            Bm7            C6       Cmaj7
 It's the New York City rhythm runnin' thru' my life, 
     Em                   Bm7
 the pounding beat of the city streets 
      Am7      D       G
 that keeps my dreams alive
     Em        A          Em       A
 I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down, 
     Am      B7   Em   Dm7
 but somehow I survive
      Cmaj7  Bsus  B   Em       Dm7  Cmaj7        Bsus  B7
 it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, 
      Cmaj7  Bsus  B   Em       Dm7  Cmaj7        Bsus  B7
 it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life

[Verse: 2]
 
          Em     D    Em        Cmaj7  Bm7  Cmaj7
 When I'm out for love or sin, 
          Am7     D     G   B
 oh, it's good to be in town, 
        Em      D     Em             Cmaj7   Bm7  Cmaj7
 in the funky dives on the old west side 
                Am7       D     G
 there's always somethin' goin' down
           Am                Em
 oh yes, I live my life with strangers, 
         Am              Em
 and the danger's always there, 
            Am7      G/B          C       A/C#
 but when I hit Broadway and it's time to play, 
     G/D               D#b5
 ya' know that I don't care
 
[Chorus]
 
          Em            Bm7            C6       Cmaj7
 It's the New York City rhythm runnin' thru' my life, 
     Em                   Bm7
 the pounding beat of the city streets 
      Am7      D       G
 that keeps my dreams alive
     Em        A          Em       A
 I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down, 
     Am      B7   Em   Dm7
 but somehow I survive
      Cmaj7  Bsus  B   Em       Dm7  Cmaj7        Bsus  B7
 it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, 
      Cmaj7  Bsus  B   Em       Dm7  Cmaj7        Bsus  B7
 it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
