[E]
[A] [E]
[A] [E] Yes, she started out just to [A] be a dancer
Gonna [E] make a living dancing in the [A] Broadway shows
So she [E] hitched a cross country from [B] Paso Robles [E] to the Big [A] Red Apple
Where [F#m] your dreams and your [A] debts must be paid on time
I'll hold [B] you close, [E] taxi dancer
[A] And [E] [A] I'll listen to how you're having through [B] your dreams, how they're fading [E] away
[A] [E] [A] I'll hold [B] you close, taxi [E] dancer
[A] [E] We can [F#m] pretend this floor [C#] is the [E] Broadway's home
[B] [A] [E]
[B] [A] [E] But she wasn't used to [B] living in [A] the city
So [E] she took a job cleaning [B] up as a maid at the Gramercy [A] Park Old Jam
And [E] all her auditions, [B] you know, didn't turn out [A] so good
So [F#m] she took a job [A] dancing at the bar down the [E] street
[A] I'll hold [B] you close, [E] taxi dancer
And [A] I'll listen to how you're having [B] through your dreams, how they're [E] fading away
[A] I'll hold [B] you close, [E] taxi dancer
We [F#m] can pretend this floor [B] is the [F] [Am] Broadway's

[B] [A] But [E] I don't know how long or [B] how far for fortune [A] to take her
But [E] I heard she sits alone [B] drunk downtown on [A] 42nd Street
And [E] sometimes an old butcher [B] slips water into the [A] jute bags
[C#m] And [F#m] she'll stagger to the bar and dance with that gal
[A] I'll hold you [B] close, taxi [E] dancer
[A] And I'll listen to how [B] you're having through your dreams, [E] how they're fading away
[A] I'll [B] [E] hold you close, taxi dancer
[F#m] We can pretend this floor [B] is the [E] Broadway's
