[Intro]
C  Gmaj7  C  Gmaj7


[Verse 1]
C                       Gmaj7
There's a rhythm to her heart
C                      Gmaj7
And a world inside her head
C                        Gmaj7
She'll tell you from the start
Gm                      Gmaj7
Boy, you don't know her yet
C                   Gmaj7  Gm
She's like a constellation
                       Gmaj7  C
Of stars that don't connect


[Pre-Chorus]
          G                       C
And she's dancing on the sidewalk
                  G
Just like all the neon signs are spotlights, she says


[Chorus]
C                              G
"Ain't I the queen of New York City?
                       C
I'll take 'em all down with me
                          G
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"
C                           G
She's got some kind of way about her
                       Gm
One look and you don't doubt her
                   G
Seeing's believing now
                      C    G
Don't you believe her now?


[Verse 2]
           C                         G
She says, "Man, I'm gonna leave this town
C                           G
'Cause I got wings under my feet"
C                           G
Then she tells you she gets vertigo
Gm                       G      C
When she goes above 14th Street


[Pre-Chorus]
             Gm                                C
And then she smiles at you the way that people smile
             G
When they're trying not to cry, and she says


[Chorus]
C                              G
"Ain't I the queen of New York City?
                       C
I'll take 'em all down with me
                          G
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"
C                           G
She's got some kind of way about her
                       Gm
One look and you don't doubt her
                   G
Seeing's believing now
                      C
Don't you believe her now?


[Interlude]
G  C  G


[Pre-Chorus]
       C                             G
"Well, ain't I the queen of New York City?
                       C
I'll take 'em all down with me
                          N.C.
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"


[Out-Chorus]
C                               G
"Hey, I'm the queen of New York City?
                       C
I'll take 'em all down with me
                          G
'Cause I'm gonna run this town"
C                           G
She's got some kind of way about her
                       Gm
One look and you don't doubt her
                   G
Seeing's believing now
                      C
Don't you believe her now?
                      G
Don't you believe her now?
                            C
Yeah, don't you believe her now?
                      G
Don't you believe her now?
                    C
Hell, I believe her now, yeah
                      G
Don't you believe her now?
                  C    G
