[F]   [G]   [C]   [F]   [Bb]   [E]    [A]

{section: Verse}
[F]Once in your life you will f[G]ind her
[C]Someone who turns your h[F]eart around
And n[Bb]ext thing you know
You're cl[E]osing d[A]own the town
[F]Wake up and it's still w[G]ith you
[C]Even though you left her w[F]ay across town
[Bb]Wonderin' to yours[E]elf
Hey, w[A]hat have I found

{section: Chorus}
[D]When you get caught
Between the moon and New York Ci[A]ty
I know it's c[Bm]razy
But it's t[A]rue
[D]If you get caught
Between the moon and New York [E]Cit[F#m]y
[Bm]The best that you can do
[Bm]The best that you can do
Is fall in l[A]ove

{section: Verse 2}
[F]Arthur, he does as he pl[G]eases
[C]All of his life his ma[F]ster's toys
And d[Bb]eep in his heart he's j[E]ust
[A]He's just a boy
[F]Living his life one day at a t[G]ime
He's sho[C]wing himself a pr[F]etty good time
He's la[Bb]ughing about the w[E]ay
They w[A]ant him to be

{section: Chorus}
[D]When you get caught
Between the moon and New York Ci[A]ty
I know it's c[Bm]razy
But it's t[A]rue
[D]If you get caught
Between the moon and New York [E]Cit[F#m]y
[Bm]The best that you can do
[Bm]The best that you can do
Is fall in l[A]ove
