verse #1
          C7
       It must have been my lucky Thursday
       Your dad went on that spree
       Before the crew could put out the fires
       G7
         You hopped a bus for NYC
               C7
       Down in Tampa the future looked desperate and dark
                                     Dbmaj9
       Now you're the wonder waif of Gramercy Park
chorus
       Eb7
          Who makes the morning fabulous
                          F#m/E
       Who says today's a fun day
       Gbmaj13/Ab         E13
       Why do I feel like sailing again
                  Aadd9       Amaj13
       Honey it's you - Janie Runaway
verse#2
     C7
       Let's grab some takeout from Dean and Deluca
       A hearty gulping wine
       You be the showgirl and I'll be Sinatra
    G7              F9  Ebmaj7
       Way back in '59
       D7sus4       C7
       Sweetness in heels - look at you - in long black gloves
                                       Dbmaj13
       Come to old blue eyes tell me - who do you love 
chorus
       Eb7
          Who makes the traffic interesting
                        F#m/E
       Rescues a dreary Sunday
       Gbmaj13/Ab             E13
       Who makes me feel like painting again
                  A           Amaj13
       Honey it's you - Janie Runaway

        Let's plan a weekend a lone together

        Drive out to Binky's place

                         C7
      We'll take the Big Red - the Blazer - it's nice inside

      Who has a friend named Melanie

      Who's not afraid to try new things
      Gbmaj7/Ab             E13
