Verse-1:

G+G
Said, hey little girl take me by the hand,
Walk with me down this boardwalk one last time, again.
	C majorC
We’ll see those pretty pier lights,
          G+G
Hear those carnival sounds.
    C majorC              D MajorD
Gonna stop right at the top tonight,
              G+G
When the Ferris-Wheel goes round.

Verse-2:

G+G
You say that I've been restless, You don't understand,
Tomorrow I'll be leaving on that morning train.

    C majorC
Gonna leave this candy apple town behind,
            G+G
Get out while I still can.

     A minorAm         D MajorD
Goin' to New York City
            G+G
With this guitar in my hand.

Bridge:
			   C majorC
I've been wishin' on these stars too long,
		    G+G
Been playin' in these bars too long,
		    C majorC
Been holed up in your arms too long,
		    G+G
Been a prisoner of my heart too long.

Chorus:

G+G    C majorC
Goin' to New York City, To find out where I stand.
       D MajorD           C majorC
And, I'll be walkin' down broadway,
            G+G
With this guitar in my hand.

Well, I sing for these tourists, got a dream of life on the water,
Dream that gets broken, this life gets harder and harder.

Get out while I still can.
