_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ In 1992, I moved to [D] New York in _ _ _ [C] hopes of becoming a famous rock star.
[E] _ _ [G] _ _ It [A] didn't last long.

It's called, When a Guy Moves to New York City.
It's about trying [G] to make a friend in the big city.
It goes like [A] this. _ _
I'm gonna [D] make a friend tonight.
[Gm] Okay, [D] I'm gonna let myself be denied. [G] That's [A] alright. _
_ [D] When a guy moves to New York [C] City, _ [D] he finds out that there's no welcome [C] committee.
_ [D] So he tries to be especially friendly.
[C] _ But the [D] truth is, friends just don't come easy.
_ [G] _ He's fresh and ready [A] to go.
Hello, hello.
He's got the time for a joke. _
Okay.
_ _ [D] When a guy moves to New York [C] City, _ _ _ names and faces tend to turn kind of blurry.
[C] He [D] says hello to every single [Bm] person [A] that he [D] _ _
sees.
_ _ _ _ [A] Hello, woman on the street with your pretty hat and [G] shoes.
Are you someone [A] I could meet for some dinner and some [G] blues?
Hello, man [A] down in the subway _ station.
[G] Could I offer you some _ conversation?

_ _ [D] But the truth is, they're as ready to [Bm] find [A] a friend [D] as he. _ _
_ I'm gonna make a [G] friend tonight.
_ [D] Okay, I'm gonna let myself be [G] denied.
That's [A] alright. _ _ _ _ _ _
There's [G] the people you meet because of the things you [A] do. _
And then [G] there's the people you didn't meet because of the things you [A] didn't do. _
_ [G] And the people you didn't meet because of the [A] things you do, and there's the [G] people
you meet because of the things you [A] didn't do. _
