Lyrics

Walk ing through a crowd, the Vil lage is a glow,

ka lei do scope of loud heart beats un der coats.

Ev ’ry bod y here want ed some thing more.

Search ing for a sound we had n’t heard be fore.

And it said: (G5)Wel come to New (D5)York,

it’s been wait ing for you.

(G5)Wel come to New York, (D5)wel (C5)come to New York.

(G5)Wel come to New (D5)York,

it’s been wait ing for you.

(G5)Wel come to New York, (D5)wel (C5)come to New York.

It’s a new sound (D)track, I could dance to this (C)beat,

beat,

for ev er (Em)more.

The lights are so (D)bright but they nev er blind (C)me,

me.

(G5)Wel come to New (D5)York,

it’s been wait ing for you.

(G5)Wel come to New York, (D5)wel (C5)come to New York.

When we first dropped our bags on a part ment floors,

took our bro ken hearts, put them in a drawer,

ev ’ry bod y here was some one else be fore.

And you can watch who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls.

Like an y (D5)great love, it keeps you guess ing.

Like an y real (D5)love, it’s ev er chang ing.

Like an y (D5)true love, it drives you cra zy (G5)but you know you (D5)would n’t change an y thing, an y thing, an y thing.

(G5)Wel come to New (D5)York,

it’s been wait ing for you.

(G5)Wel come to New York, (D5)wel (C5)come to New York.

(G5)Wel come to New (D5)York,

it’s been wait ing for you.

(G5)Wel come to New York, (D5)wel (C5)come to New York.

It’s a (D5)new sound track, I could dance to this (G5)beat.

The lights (D5)are so bright but they nev er blind (C5)Wel come to New New sound track.

It’s been wait ing for you.

Wel come to New York.

are so bright but they nev er blind (G)Wel come to New York.

So bright, they nev er blind Wel come to New York.

(G5)Wel come to New York.
