C     G         F      G
I was sleeping, gently napping
Am     E         Am  E  Am
when I heard the phone
F      G      C         G
Who is on the other end talking
F F# G    C G C
am I even home


[Verse 2]

C       G        F       G
Did you see what she did to him
Am      E              Am E Am
did you hear what they said
F      G        C     G
Just a New York conversation
F F# G         C G C
rattling in my head


[Chorus]

Ab  G  C G C    F    G       C G C
Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear
Ab  G  C G C    F    G       C G C
Oh, oh, my, and who really cares


[Verse 3]

C      G        F      G
Just a New York conversation
Am     E          Am E Am
gossip all of the time
F       G        C        G
Did you hear who did what to whom
F  F# G         C G C
happens all the time


[Verse 4]

C       G           F       G
Who has touched and who has dabbled
Am          E       Am E Am
here in the city of shows
F         G         C     G
Openings, closings, bad repartee
F  F# G   C G C
everybody knows


[Chorus 2]

Ab  G  C G C    F   G     C G C
Oh, how sad and why do we call
Ab  G   C G C   F    G        C G C
Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all


[Outro]
C    G        F        G
I am calling, yes I am calling
Am       E       Am E Am
just to speak to you
F     G         C          G
For I know this night will kill me
   F  F#  G        C G C
if I can't be with you
   F C/E   Dm   G   C
If I can't be with you
