Intro: G, E2 Cadd9 (Cadd9 held for two bars)

G                     E2
     I'm walking down broadway
Cadd9
   Each foot step is a new love letter
G                    E2
  I'm trying to make eye contact
     Cadd9
With each and every stranger that I pass
G                    E2
  Thinking about the city
     Cadd9
It's living proof people need to be together
G                                       E2
  I'm thinking about how I just want to open up
    Cadd9
And give and give and give
G          Cadd9         D2
  And it's ok for you to care
G             Cadd9           D2
  Cause I can feel you in the air
G               Cadd9   Em7              D/F    Cadd9
  And while you wonder "how's this gonna end?"
                         G   E2  Cadd9 (x2)
I only want it to begin

G                    E2
  I'm thinking about desire
Cadd9
   I've had to learn how to sin successfully
G                    E2
  I'm thinking about bliss
             Cadd9
And bliss is all dressed up

And there's no one to dance with
G                 E2            Cadd9
  Remembering her smile and the nuclear bomb

And the reasons I loved her
G                 E2
  Walking through Central Park
         Cadd9
I'm in a foriegn country and I'm waiting for a sign
G         Cadd9         D2
That it's ok for you to care
G             Cadd9     D2
Cause I'm not going anywhere
G              Cadd9     Em7               D/F  Cadd9
 And while you wonder if you should let me in
                        Em7  Cadd9  G  D/F
I only want it to begin

Em7         Cadd9
  I'm still singing
G                      D/F
Twisting new melodies, breaking arrangements
Em7                  Cadd9
   Thinking about my heart
G                     D/F
I guess you've heard, sometimes it's heavy
G               E2
But I just keep moving
     Cadd9
When I hit a wall, I look up at the sky
G                    E2
  I'm thinking about my maker
   Cadd9
In spite of all this I know she won't give up on me
G        Cadd9         D2
 And its ok for you to care
G            Cadd9          D2
 Cause I can taste you everywhere
G           Cadd9
 While it's true
Em7                      D/F    Cadd9
All straight things must bend
                         G  E2 Cadd9
I only want it to begin
                         G  E2 Cadd9
I only want it to begin
                         G  E2 Cadd9
I only want it to begin
                         G  E2 Cadd9
I only want it to begin

The End.. Hope you enjoyed!
