[Verse 1]
Dm Am They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom Dm Am For trying to change the system from within Dm Am I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them G F E Am First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Verse 2]
Dm Am I'm guided by a signal in the heavens Dm Am I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin Dm Am I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons G F E Am First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Chorus]
C G I'd really like to live beside you, baby F G C Am I love your body and your spirit and your clothes C Am But you see that line there moving through the station G F E Am I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
[Verse 3]
Dm Am You loved me as a loser but now you're worried that I just might win Dm Am You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline Dm Am How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin G F E Am First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Verse 4]
Dm Am I don't like your fashion business, mister Dm Am I don't like these drugs that keep you thin Dm Am I don't like what happened to my sister G F E Am First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Chorus]
C G I'd really like to live beside you, baby F G C Am I love your body and your spirit and your clothes C Am But you see that line there moving through the station G F E Am I told you, I told you, told you I was one of those
[Verse 5]
Dm Am And I thank you for those items that you sent me Dm Am The monkey and the plywood violin Dm Am I practiced every night now I'm ready G F E Am G F E First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Verse 6]
Dm Am Remember me, I used to live for music Dm Am Remember me, I brought your groceries in Dm Am Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded G F E Am First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
[Outro]
Am G Am (Repeat and fade out)
