E7       F#7         Cadd9      Amadd11   B
   Alphabet city is haunted
E7        F#7                 Cadd9     Amadd11   B
   Constantina feels right at home
     E7
She probly won't say you're wrong

   You're already wrong

   You're already wrong
       Aadd11              E7                 B11  Asus2  Cadd9 
And you      threw up whatever she shot down

   There's a name you keep repeating
E7          F#7              Cadd9      Amadd11   B
   You got nothing better to do
            Cadd9               B       F7
And you're with someone who'll hear you say it
        Em7     Aadd11
And just not mind

E7
   Her hand on your arm
C#madd11
   Her hand on your arm
   Cadd9
She put her hand on your arm
   Aadd11                  E7                B11  Asus2  Cadd9 
         And told you her name you can't pronounce it

[Chorus]

                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9
I'll show you around 
                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9
This alphabet town
                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9
I'll show you around 

This alphabet town
Cadd9        B        F7
     I know what you are
      Em7       Aadd11
I just don't mind

E7
   I won't say you're wrong
C#madd11
   I know what you want
Cadd9
   And it's what I want
        Aadd11
So let's      go out

[Outro]

     E7             B11  Asus2  Cadd9
I'm ready to go out
                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9
I'll show you around 
                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9
This alphabet town
                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9
I'll show you around 
                    B11  Asus2  Cadd9 (x4)
