[Intro]
Fmaj7 Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Dm7 Gm7 C7 (2x)
[Verse 1]
F Dm
You'll see me walking in the streets at night
Gm7 C7
Just following the sound of my lonely feet
Fmaj7 Dm
I'm relinquishing of all control
Bb C
My mind's in tactical rereat
F Dm
I doubt you even live here still
Gm7 C7
But it quickens up the pace of my heartbeat
F Dm
When I find myself by accident
Bb
On 22nd Street
[Chorus]
Dm Dm7-Am7 Dm/C Dm/B
All the years, since bittersweet
Dm/Bb
Are chapters in a story book
Gm7 C7 C#7
That still is incomplete
Dm7 Dm7-Am7 Dm/C Dm/B
The falling leaves will tumble to defeat
Dm/Bb
But nothing's ever changed round here
Gm7 C7
On 22nd Street
[Verse 2]
F Dm
Every time I'm at the spot I remember
Gm7 C7
22nd was the place I met the girl of dreams
F Dm7
A bright sunny day in November
Gm7 C7
Such a beautiful sight staring right back at me
F Dm
To get yuh body was my goal
Gm7 C7
But yuh fit perfectly ina di wifey roll
F Dm
Yuh have mi unda control
Bb C7
On 22nd Street weh yuh capture mi heart and soul
[Verse 3]
F Dm
I have a dream that I can't shake
Gm7 C7
A dream where lonely lovers meet
F Dm
On the corner of the avenue
Gm7
And 22nd Street
F Dm7
The street musicians start to play
Gm7 C7
Their violins so sweet
F Dm7
We can't help ourselves but dance
Bb
These steps we must complete
[Chorus]
Dm7 Dm7-Am7 Dm/C Dm/B
All the years, since bittersweet
Dm/Bb
Are chapters in a fairy tale
Gm7 C7 C#7
That still lies incomplete
Dm7 Dm7-Am7 Dm/C Dm/B
The falling leaves are destined to repeat
Dm/Bb
That nothing's ever changed round here
Gm7 C7
On 22nd Street
[Verse 4]
F Dm7
Well any time I walk the spot I remember
Gm7 C7
22nd was the place I met the girl of dreams
F Dm7
A bright sunny day in November
Gm7 C7
Such a beautiful sight staring right back at me
F Dm7
I couldn't leave you alone
Gm7 C7
Something inside told me I'm gonna make you my own
F Dm7
I had you locked in my zone
Gm7 C7
You are the queen of my life and the heir to my throne
[Chorus]
Dm7 Dm7-Am7 Dm/C Dm/B
All the years, since bittersweet
Dm/Bb
Are chapters in a fairy tale
Gm7 C7 C#7
That still lies incomplete
Dm7 Dm7-Am7 Dm/C Dm/B
The falling leaves will tumble to defeat
Dm/Bb
C7
