And we can Clook at the world through this Fwindow on 23rd CStreet F  C  F  
[Verse 2]
I came a Clong way to Gsee her one Fmore time 
There was a Csubway to Gtake me upFtown 
There was an Caddress she Ggave me last FChristmas 
Where Cshe said she could Galways be Ffound 
I Amlistened as Gshe said she Floved me 
I'll Amalways reEmmember that Fsound

You can Csee yourGself as a Fghost 
We would Cwalk 'round the Gblock with no Freason to talk 
Back Cthen we were Gyounger than Fmost 
It's a Amlove that you Gnever will Fsee 
Hey, Ambuddy, I Emdon't mean to Fboast

AmShe said that Gshe'd always Flove me 
All I Amneed is to Emfind her aFgain
