Chorus:
Gm D#                   A#
Meet me at the boardwalk
      F                      Gm
I'll be there in a New York minute
    D#                           A#
And if you need the words, I'll say 'em
                   F
Say 'em, and I'll never take 'em back, no
Yeah, we could take a long walk
And get there in our own sweet time
It's hard to catch your breath in the big bad city

     F                        Gm    D#     A#
But we could make it all look easy, easy, yeah
 F                        Gm    D#     A#  F
We could make it all look easy, easy, yeah

           Gm D#
If it were me
        A#
There'd be no second-guessing
           Gm D#
If it were me
     A#
You wouldn't have to wonder
         Gm         D#
If it's worth your time
          A#
If you're even on his mind
             D#                                  F
For me, it's so instinctive just to be good to you

Chorus:
So meet me at the boardwalk
I'll be there in a New York minute
And if you need the words, I'll say 'em
Say 'em, and I'll never take 'em back, no
Yeah, we could take a long walk
And get there in our own sweet time
It's hard to catch your breath in the big bad city
[Post-Chorus]
But we could make it all look easy, easy, yeah
We could make it all look easy, easy, yeah

F            Gm
For a moment we disappear
F              Gm
In your nature to be so perfect
   F                Gm
I can't explain it, I just know
D#                                 F
So instinctive just to be good to you

Chorus:
So meet me at the boardwalk
I'll be there in a New York minute
And if you need the words, I'll say 'em
Say 'em, and I'll never take 'em back, no
Yeah, we could take a long walk
And get there in our own sweet time
It's hard to catch a breath in the big bad city
But we could make it all look easy
So meet me at the boardwalk
I'll be there in a New York minute
And if you need the words, I'll say 'em
Say 'em, and I'll never take 'em back, no
Yeah, we could take a long walk
And get there in our own sweet time
It's hard to catch a breath in the big bad city

But we could make it all look easy, easy, yeah
We could make it all look easy, easy, yeah
We could make it all look easy, easy, yeah
We could make it all look easy, easy, yeah

If it were me
There'd be no second-guessing
If it were me
You wouldn't have to wonder
