Verse 1
E B7sus4
I can count all the lights in the city,
E C#m Bsus4 A
From the ledge on the twenty-seventh floor,
C#m Bsus4 A
There must be ten thousand window or more,
F#m7 B7sus4
It's a hobby I can count on, helps me forget about the cold,
F#m7 B7sus4 A B7sus4 E
And I get to meet the neighbors for as long as the ledge will hold.
Verse 2
E B7sus4
In the window across from me,
E C#m Bsus4 A
A man is committing a robbery,
C#m Bsus4 A
It's another form of the New York City lottery,
F#m7 B7sus4
His ears must be burning, he drops the bag and he stares,
F#m7
I'm the man out on the building,
B7sus4 B7sus4
Yes, there's no net down there...
Chorus
E A Aadd11
And there's a woman below that I see,
E B7sus4
Her silhouette is quite beautiful,
E A Aadd11
It plays tricks on my memory.
E B7sus4
Puts a face on the shadows in front of me,
F#m7 B7sus4
A crowd below is forming, beneath this window ledge, my throne,
F#m7
I am the King of Seventh Avenue,
Bsus4 B
New York City is my home,
E Esus2 E
It’s my home.
Verse 3
B7sus4
I think the sirens have come for me,
E Esus2 E C#m Bsus4 A
Their searchlights reach up to the balcony,
C#m Bsus4 A
They bathe me in light, blind me so I can't see.
F#m7
I hear the crowd all ask for jumping,
B7sus4
While the cops all ask for calm,
F#m7
Even the pigeons think I'm something,
B7sus4 Bsus4 Emaj7
The whole city is in my palms,
Verse 4
Emaj7 F#m7
My daughter Lisa says to me.
B7sus4 E
"Dad the world is yours, and it's beautiful,
Emaj7 B7sus4
Don't throw it all away on memories.
B7sus4
You've got to meet new people...",
E Bsus4
Yeah, that will be good for me,
E Bsus4
Good for me,
E Bsus4
Good for me.

Verse 5
B7sus4
So I watch the lovers behind their shades,
E Esus2 E C#m Bsus4 A
I've seen them embrace after their furious fights,
C#m Bsus4 A
I've watched them mend their fences, make their love all night.
F#m7
Only to tear them down again.
B7sus4
Change the limits, change the boundaries,
F#m7
The same beginning, the same end.
Bsus4 Bsus4
Yet the story still astounds me.
Chorus
E A Aadd11
And there's a woman below that I see,
E B7sus4
Her silhouette is quite beautiful,
E A Aadd11
It plays tricks on my memory.
E B7sus4
Puts a face on the shadows in front of me,
F#m7 B7sus4
A crowd below is forming, beneath this window ledge, my throne,
F#m7
I am the King of Seventh Avenue,
Bsus4 B
New York City is my home,
E Esus2 E B7sus4
It’s my home.
Outro
E Esus2 E
I'm not alone.
C#m Bsus4 A
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, oooh) oh oh oh oooh oooh,
Bsus4 C#m Bsus4 A
Yey, . . .
