[F#] You know, we figured we'd have a good time with you tonight.
You know, that's, we don't want to just,
we want to talk and we want to express together.
So I figured we'd start with this one.
[D]
[F#m]
[E] So
[D#] [D] like [F#] this.
[F#m]
I [F#] want you to know where [A#] we're from.
I want you to know where we are right now.
You know where we are.
[B] New York, where dreams [F#] are made of,
if [C#] you can do it, now [B] you're in New York.
These streets will make you feel [F#] great,
lights will [C#] inspire you,
here in the [F#] New York, New York, [B] New York.
One hand in the air for the big city,
streetlights, big trees, all [C#] look pretty.
No place in the world that it [D#m] comes near,
put your lighters in the air.
[A#]
[B]
[F#]
[C#] [B]
These streets will make you [F#] feel great,
[C#] [B] New York, New York.
[F#]
[E] [A] You see, we're [F#m] going to have a good [Bm] time.
We're going to [F#m] just talk through some things
and [A] you know, we're going to flow together a little bit.
[E] This [F#m] song right here,
myself [G] and Kanye revived [Bm] on this song, you know,
[A] and I'll never forget how we were just flowing in the studio
[E] and we were talking about a [F#m] situation,
you know, we had a little conversation.
[G#] So that's a good way to [Bm] start songs [Em] sometimes, you know,
[A] and we were talking about this situation
when you [F#m] really are feeling [E] somebody.
I see [F#m] y'all, I'm feeling you.
[C#]
Yes, when you're really [G] feeling somebody,
[F#m] but you don't exactly know how to approach them
or what to say, like what's the first thing you [E] say
[F#m] when you want to get someone's attention?
You get a little [C#] nervous sometimes.
So we were talking [Em] about that
[F#m] and so we kind of painted this whole picture, you know,
so that we could [C#m] really [F#m] express the way.
And I was saying, well, it feels a little [C#] something like this to me.
[Bm] To me, it's like, maybe you [F#m] say, uh.
Baby, baby, baby, [D] from the [A] day I saw you,
[F#m] I really, really wanted to [G] catch your [Bm] eye.
[E] You know, [F#m] that's true.
There's something special [A] about you
and I must [E] really like [F#m] you.
There's not a lot of guys that [C#] are worth my [F#m] time.
Baby, it's getting kind [D] of [A] crazy.
[F#m] You are taking [C#] over my mind.
[D] [E] And if you say, ooh.
[C#m]
You don't [C#] know my [Bm] name.
[C#] And I just want you to make [C#m] me feel like, ooh.
If [F#m] you don't know my name.
[D] I'm drowning, [Fm] oh.
[D] [C#] [C] [A] Baby, [C#] [Bm]
[A] you're on our first [Bm] date.
You're doing everything that makes [A] me [Am] smile.
[Em] You know, [Bm] huh?
And when we had our first kiss.
[C#] [Bm] Ooh, [A] it set my [F#] soul on [C] fire.
[F#m] [E] [Bm] [F#m]
I keep on waiting for the [Bm] first time.
[F#m] And they said, [A#] run and run.
[G] [E] And if you say, ooh.
You don't [D] know my name.
[C#] And I swear it, baby.
And he [C#m] goes like, ooh.
[Bm] You don't know my name.
I'm drowning, oh.
[C#] Oh, [E] no, no, no.
[C#m] You know what I mean?
He's kind of making me feel a little [Bm] crazy, you know?
I mean, what exactly?
I'm feeling [E] like, oh.
You know it's [Bm] [C#m]
[Gm] a tension.
[Bm] Take notice of what's in [F#m] front of you.
[E] Instead of being shy, you got to piss off the thing.
[C#m]
[G] [Bm] You'll never get a chance to receive me.
[E] And it's my love then.
Because my love is [C#m] insane.
Ooh.
Hey.
[F#m] You don't [D] know my name.
[C#]
[G] Baby.
[C#] And [E] he goes like, ooh.
You [D] don't know my name.
I'm drowning, oh.
And he [C#m] goes like, ooh.
You don't know [Bm] my name.
[G#] And I swear I'm a lover.
And he goes like, ooh.
[B] [D]
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. [Bm] Ooh. Ooh.
