G
you called me last night
C           D
on the telephone
G
i was glad to hear from you
    C          D
cuz i was all alone
               G
you said "it's snowing, it's snowing
C               D
God i hate this weather"
G
now i'd walk thru blizzards
         C      D
just to get us back together


Verse 2:
we met in the springtime at a rock'n'roll show
it was in the bowery when it was time to go
kissed on the subway in the middle of the night
i held your hand, you held mine
it was the best night of my life

Chorus:
      G               D
cuz everyone's your friend

      G                Em
and everything looks beautiful
 C                      D
when you're young and pretty
 C                        D
streets are paved with diamonds
             G                C
and there's just so much to see
          D                                D (Strike Twice)
but the best thing about new york city is

you and me

and everything looks beautiful
when you're young and pretty
streets are paved with diamonds
and there's just so much to see
but the best thing about new york city is
you and me
