[Verse 1]
[G]Another night in New York
I find [D]it hard to stand tall
[Em]The skyscrapers, they do just fine[C][Csus2][C]

[Dsus4]The empty streets,[D]
the late night[Em]s
They ask me why I waste my [C]time

[Verse 2]
'Cause I wanna [G]build a place,
an em[D]pire
[Em]It's taking shape, it's [C]worth the wait

[Verse 3]
[G]I see my name in those stars
[D]Walking down the boulevard
[Em]I've believed it all my life[C]
[G]Which billboard would I choose
[Dsus4]In the land of t[D]he Delta Blues?
[Em]I know I have to get this righ[C]t

'Cause I wanna [G]build a place, an [D]empire
