A 
They break their ass for free

no girls and no applause.
A

But somewhere down the
street tonight,
G 
I thought I heard a mention,
D

G 
getting some attention.
A 
G 
And so it goes, another star is born.
A 
As the waitress shuts the lights
G 
A 
and the taxi blows its horn,
D 
and the rain falls down
G 
on New York City,
D 
A
