After Nina's dinner, we can hit a few clubs and check out the firework

For Vanessa's running away from me
I'm running to make it home at home
For Vanessa's running away from me
The neighborhood [Bm] salon is the place [F#m] I am working for the [D] moment
[A]
[Dm] [A] As [D] I cut their hair, [Bm] ladies talk and [A] share
Every [Bm] day, [F#m] who's doing [G] who and [D] why
The neighborhood [G] salon doesn't pay me what I [A] wanna [D] be making, but I don't mind
[A] As [D] I sweep [G] the curb, [Bm] I can hear those [A] turbo [A] engines blazing a [G#] trail through [G] the sky
I look up and think [F#m] about the years [C] gone by
[G] But one day, I'm walking to [A] JFK and I'm gonna [Bm] fly
[D]

[Bm] It won't be [G] long now, any day
[Am] [D]
