B F# There was this girl i used to see C#m E down on 42nd street B F# sheʼd walk by on her way to work – E F# nʼ make the air smell so sweet i used to sit in a coffee shop sometimes iʼd have a cup and when sheʼd go by sheʼd light up the sky like the sun coming up she be standinʼ by the bus stop driver opened up the door iʼd just sit nʼ watch her getting on the 104 i wanna give her my number i wanna tell her my name wanna climb on board that cross-town bus take a chance she feels the same Chorus: B F# C#m E Itʼs just another east side story B F# E F# everybodyʼs got a tale to tell and like a hundred guys before me i fell under her spell itʼs just another east side story Some things you hold on to some you just let go seems like the ones that you canʼt have are the ones that you want most i think about her sometimes i wonder if she was real and if i ever find her iʼm gonna tell her how i feel Chorus. C#m Itʼs still the same old story G#m itʼs still the same old game E up there on the eastside F# life goes on the same she never knew my number never even knew my name she climbed on board that cross-town bus i never saw her again Chorus.
