Native New Yorker

Native New Yorker
Odyssey

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh

Runnin' pretty, New York City girl
Twenty-five, thirty-five
Hello, baby, New York City girl

You grew up ridin' the subways, running with people
Up in Harlem, down on [C7]Broadway
You're no tɾamp, but you're no lady, talkin' that stɾeet talk
You're the heart and [Bm]soul of New York City

And love, love is just a passing word
It's the thought you [A7had in a taxi cab that got [Fm7]left on [C7]the curb
When he dropped you [A7off and [Bm]he stated firm

Oh, oh, oh [Oh, oh, oh]
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now [You should know by now]
You're a native New Yorker

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh

Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and [Bm]closer
Makin' friends and [Bm]findin' lovers
There you [A7are lost in the shadows, searchin' for [Dm7]someone [Searchin' for
someone]
To set you [A7free from New York City

And, whoa, where did all [Em]those yesterdays go
When you [A7still believed love could ɾeally be [Am]like [F]a Broadway show
You are the star, win the applause

Oh, oh, oh [Oh, oh, oh]
You're a native New Yorker
No one opens the door
For a native New Yorker

[Runnin' pretty, New York City girl]
Oohâ?¦oohâ?¦oohâ?¦
Native, native, native New Yorker

Where did all [Em]those yesterdays go
When you [A7still believed love could ɾeally be [Am]like [F]a Broadway show
You are the star

You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score, you [A7should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh
[Native, native, native new Yorker]
You're a native New Yorker

Whoa, oh, ho, ho, you're a native New Yorker
You should know the score
[Native, native, native new Yorker]
You're a native New Yorker

What you [A7waitin' for, no one opens the door
[You're a native New Yorker]
For a native, for [Dm7]a native New Yorker
