[Verse 1]
G                 D                 C       
Walking through a crowd the village is aglow
   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

[Chorus]
G*             D*   C*
And it said: Welcome to New York,  it's been waiting for you
G*             D*            C*
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
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    
It's a new soundtrack
                      C         
I could dance to this beat, beat
        Em  
Forever more
                  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          
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

G

[Verse 2]
     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            D   
And you can want who you want
C                                
Boys and boys and girls and girls
[Chorus]
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
Welcome to New York
It's been waiting for you
G              D             C          
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York

G               D    
It's a new soundtrack
                      C         
I could dance to this beat, beat
        Em  
Forever more
                  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          
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York


[Bridge]
Em*      D*        C*
Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Em*          D*    C*
Like any real love, it's ever changing
Em*      D*       C*
Like any true love, it drives you crazy
G                D              
But you know you wouldn't change
C                 C*
Anything anything any-thing


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

G      D        C    
It's a new soundtrack
                      G   
I could dance to this beat
           D      C     
The lights are so bright
                     G                       
But they never blind me (welcome to New York)
D         C                                 G                  
New soundtrack, it's been waiting for you (welcome to New York)
    D             C                           G 
The lights are so bright but they never blind me

G                  
Welcome to New York
So bright they never blind me
G*
Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
