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 |
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 |
C G F |
I'd really like to live beside you, baby |
C Am |
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes |
C |
But you see that line there |
Am |
Moving through the station |
G F |
I told you I told you |
E Am |
I told you I was one of those |
Dm |
You loved me as a loser |
Am |
but now your worried that I just might win |
Dm |
You know the way to stop me |
Am |
but you don't have the discipline |
Dm |
How many nights I prayed for this: |
Am |
to let my work begin |
G F E |
First we take Manhattan, |
E Am |
Then we take Berlin |
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 your sister |
G F E Am |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin |
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 and now I'm ready |
G F E Am |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin |
Bridge: |
Dm G Dm Dm x4 |
Dm Am |
Remember me, I used to live for music |
Dm Am |
Remember me, I brought your groceries in |
Dm Am |
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded |
G F E Am |
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin |
Ending: |
Dm Dm Dm G x4 |
