G                  C
Well it all started out
                            G
In a wonderful city we all know
                            C
But on street that few have seen
G                    C
I couldn't figure whereabouts
                               G
All of our moves were meant to go
                       C
But I knew that I was keen
F                    C 
And from that moment on
                           G
My life would never be the same

G                         C
I flew to see her twice a year
                             G
But all that did was make it worse
                             C
My days grew longer back at home
G                         C
Then suddenly I saw so clear
                                  G
This town just doesn't quench my thirst
         C
Oh no no no


F                    C
And from that moment on
                            G
My life would never be the same
F                        C
She was a tough one to restrain
                         D
She was the one that got away
C           G                  D
Get me back, Get me back to New York
           D
She's got something I'm looking for
C            G                  D
 Get me back, Get me back to New York
            D                        C        G         D
She's got something I'm looking for..ooooh....ooooh....ooooh

G          C                      G
What came next was what I didn't expect
                                   C
You might say she swept me off my feet
G                   C                       G
And there was more upset but certainly no regrets
                                   C
Of the night we met within those streets
F                    C
And from that moment on
                           G
My life would never be the same
F                        C
She was a tough one to restrain
                          D
She was the one that got away
C           G                    D
Get me back, Get me back to New York
           D
She's got something I'm looking for
C          G                    D
Get me back, Get me back to New York
           D                    G
She's got something I'm looking for
