Verse 1: 

         F# 
 There was this girl i used to see 
C#m       E 
down on 42nd street 
B                     F# 
she'd walk by on her way to work  
             C#m           E 
and make the air smell so sweet 
I used to sit in a coffee shop 
sometimes i'd have a cup 
 when she'd got by she'd light up the sky 
like the sun coming up 
she'd be standing by the bus stop 
driver opened up the door 
i'd just sit and watch her  
getting on the 104 

B                   F# 
I wanna give her my number 
C#m                E 
wanna tell her my name  
B                          F# 
wanna climb on board that cross-town bus 
C#m                         F# 
take a chance she feels the same 

Chorus:  
        B         F#               C#m    E 
        Its just another east side story 
        B          F#              C#m  F# 
        everybodys got a tale to tell 
        B           F#             C#m    E 
        and like a hundred guys befroe me 
      B F#                C#m  F# 
        i fell under her spell 
       B 
        Its just another east side story 

Verse 2:(igual o 1º) 

        Some things you hold on to 
        some you just let go 
        seems like the ones which you cant have 
        are the ones you want the most 
        I think about her sometimes 
        i wonder if she was real 
        and if i ever find her 
        i'm gonna tell her how i feel 

Chorus 

Verse 3: 
        C#m                               
        Its still the same old story 
        Abm 
        its still the same old game 
        E   
        up there on the east side 
        F#       
        life goes on the same 
        C#m 
        She never knew my number 
        Abm 
        never ever knew my name 
        E      
        she climbed on board that cross-town bus 
           F# 
        i never saw her again 

Chorus 

final: 
B, F#, C#m  
   
E                 B 
Its just another east side story.
