 Verse:
  C                  G                F
 Walking through a crowd the village is aglow
    C             G               F
 Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats
 C          G           F
 Everybody here wanted something more
  C                G               F
 Searching for a sound we hadn’t heard before, and it said


 Chorus:
  C              G   F
 Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you
  C              G             F
 Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
  C              G   F
 Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you
  C              G             F
 Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
C                  G
 It’s a new soundtrack
                        F            Am
 I could dance to this beat forever more
                     G
 The lights are so bright
                       F
 But they never blind me, me
  C              G   F
 Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you
  C              G             F            C
 Welcome to New York, welcome to New York


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


 Chorus:
  C              G   F
 Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you
  C              G             F

 Welcome to New York, welcome to New York
C                  G
 It’s a new soundtrack
                        F            Am
 I could dance to this beat forever more
                     G
 The lights are so bright
                       F
 But they never blind me, me
  C              G   F
 Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you
  C              G             F            
 Welcome to New York, welcome to New York


 Bridge:
Am          G     F
 Like any great love, it keeps you guessing
Am         G    F
 Like any real love, it’s ever changing
Am          G   F
 Like any true love, it drives you crazy
C                  G              F
 But you know you wouldn’t change anything, anything, anything

 It’s a new soundtrack
                        C          
 I could dance to this beat 
       G             F
 The lights are so bright
                       C
 But they never blind me
  C              G   F
 Welcome to New York, it’s been waiting for you
  C              G                        F                         C
 Welcome to New York, the lights are so bright but they never blind me
  C              G         F                      C
 Welcome to New York, so bright they never blind me
