See my ciEty coming together
Emaj/EbLike they did when I was just C#m7two years old
I cAm13ame up in this mindset now I’ll lEet it show
Emaj/EbI’ll let it shC#mow B/D#
[Chorus]
Amaj9Riding up the West Side HigAmaj9/Abhway

If I close my eyeAm13s
Bea's aAbsleep in the back of a F#sustandem
Bicycle B7ride
