Tom: C#m
E
It’s going down outside
G#m C#m
And I haven’t held my friends now for a month or so
B E
Next time I’ll squeeze them harder ‘fore I let them go
G#m C#m B
I’ll let them go
[Verse 2]
E G#m
See my city coming together
C#m
Like they did when I was just two years old
B E G#m
I came up in this mindset now I’ll let is show
C#m B
I’ll let it show
[Chorus]
A B
Riding up the West Side Highway
E
Feeling Sundays as a child
Am
If I close my eyes
G#m F#m
Be asleep in the back of a tandem
B
Bicycle ride
[Verse 3]
E
November on the rooftop
G#m C#m
New York City holds our breath tonight
B E G#m
Needle on the TV slides from left to right
C#m B
From left to right
[Verse 4]
E
And on my father’s shoulders
G#m C#m
Marching then and we’re still marching now
B E G#m
Screaming with my neighbors who’ve been so let down
C#m B
So let down
[Chorus]
A B
Riding up the West Side Highway
E
Feeling Sundays as a child
Am
If I close my eyes
G#m F#m
Be asleep in the back of a tandem
B
Bicycle ride
[Outro]
E E/D#
It feels so familiar
E/C# E/C
To knock on the door
A F#m E
Wanna stand in the place I was born
