New York City can be so pretty, from a bird's eye      view
       Cmaj7  Cmaj9 Cmaj7      Em7       Ebdim Dm7 Dm9 Dm Dm9    F/G    G7#5#9
Because up there,        yeah that's where I first        kissed you
 
 
[Chorus]
    C7                    F7
A modern day romance, a perfect performance
  Em7  Ebdim        F/G   G7#5#9  C7
Acting like two fools,            saying silly things
  F7                                Em7   Ebdim      Dm9/G   G7#5
Whisper sweet nothings, like young lovers     only do
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Cmaj7                 Em7   Ebdim        Dm7  Dm9 Dm Dm9  F/G   G7b9
I was shaking, you were breathtaking      like the     Empire   State
            Cmaj7 Cmaj9 Cmaj7 Cmaj9     Em7    Ebdim
My voice was so far,         not quite Sinatra
         Dm7 Dm9 Dm Dm9   F/G    G7#5#9
Singing songs          so glad,
 
 
[Chorus]
     C7
The clock struck one
     F7                            Em7   Ebdim      Dm9/G    G7b9
The night still very young, in the city that never sleeps
         C7                   F7
Then a whirlwind blew when I first kissed you
        Em7      Ebdim           Dm9/G
Nearly swept me, swept me off my feet
