Start Jamming...
[F#] Got into a [Em] cab in New York [F#] City, there's an oriental [E] man behind the wheel
Started [Em] talking about [E] heaven like it was [Em] real, [E] real
[C] Say they [Bm] got mansions [Em] in heaven
Yeah, the [D] angels are building one for [C] me right now
[G] And I know they're [Em] saving the [E] best for last
[D] Look around this [Dm] town and tell me that it ain't [G] so
[Em] They're [Em] saving the best for [D] last
Don't ask me how I know, cause it [C] must be
Saving the best [Em] for last [E] for me
[F#] You can [Em] go a hundred miles a [E] second, don't have to [Em] drive no lousy [B] cab
[Em] Got everything you want and [E] more, man, and the [Em] king picks up [E] the tab
[C] Walk [Bm] around on the streets [Em] of gold all day
[E] And you never have to listen to what these customers say
And I know they're saving the best for [D] last
Look around this town and tell me that [E] it ain't so
[G] They're saving the best for [D] last
Don't ask me how I know, cause [Em] it must [C] be
They're saving the best for last for me
[A] [Em] [D] Oh, [C] saving the best [Em] for last for me
[C] Well, I remember when [G] I was a [D] child
[C] Lost in the streets of [G] [D] Chinatown
[C] [D#] My mother [A#] had a vision and I was [C] found
Saving the best [Em] for last for me
[A]
[D] [E] Oh, oh, [Em] oh, saving the best for [G] last
[D]
[G]
[C]
[D] [E] When I finally take this journey I'm gonna wave [Em] goodbye to [A] her
[Em] Gonna throw this meter in the ocean, prove what I was [D] worth
[Bm] And I don't care who tries to [Em] flag me down
They're gonna [D] have to find another ride uptown
[C]
Cause I, [G] they must be saving the best for last
Man, I look around this town so don't tell me that it ain't [G] so
They're just saving the best for [D] last
Don't ask me how I know, cause it [C] must be
They're saving the best [Em] for last for me
