[Verse 1]
Am7           Bm7                    Em       D/E  Em
  They say it takes a lot to keep a love alive
Am7        Bm7                           Cmaj7 Bmaj7 Bbmaj7
  In every heart there pumps a different beat
Am7        Bbdim                  Bm7       A/C#
  But if we shift the rhythm into overdrive ,
C7 N.C.                                 B7 Bb7sus B7 Bb7sus B7  N.C.  
   Well, we could generate a lot of heat

[Chorus]
N.C.       D/E            D  
  On fifty second street
Em Cadd9
Oh oh
          D/E          D Em Cadd9
On fifty second street

[Bridge]
Cadd9                      Em          Ebm7 
We're gonna throw a little soul parade
Dm7       G7                 Cmaj7     Badd9
  Before they know the second bar was played
Bbadd9        Aadd9           Am7                D7
  We're gonna slip it to 'em short and sweet, on
N.C.          G  B7
Fifty second street
